So, today was the last day in the office for the MC 07-08. Feels very strange not to be there to share it with them - oddly enough it feels even stranger now than it did when I left 4 weeks ago, which felt very surreal. It feels absolutely bizzare to think that if I were to phone the office tomorrow I'd hear a different voice to one of the 9 that I've had for the past year. At the same time as being sad now it also feels complete - full circle. I know that I'll always have this feeling of nostalgia for the year 07-08 I have now, simply because of everything I learned, and more than that the people I got to share it with who in some way every day managed to make the experience for me. I feel incredibly privileged to have had the opportunity to work with so many talented, passionate people, and I'm really looking forward to being able to sit with them in the years coming down the line, and see what we all achieve and where our experiences take us.
Back in Brazil, we spent the whole day today meeting with every single other team to make sure we're all on the same page regarding what we're doing, and how things are going to work. It's been intense and everyone feels quite spaced out now, but it was incredibly useful - it felt as if it came at just the right time, and everyone is now so much more switched on and clued in on what they're doing, just from taking the time to have a structured chat. Everything's gradually stepping up a notch, but it's cool to see that most of the team is stepping up with it - the guys I'm working with are hugely motivated - very good at what they do, very switched on and most importantly nobody takes themselves too seriously and we all have good fun with each other. We noticed today in the meetings that the majority of the time we can now tell what the others are thinking, because we've discussed everything in so much detail that all it takes is a look to know we're thinking exactly the same thing at the same time - I guess it's because the experience and work is so intense, but being so connected makes it worth it 100%.
I'm still trying to upload pictures, but it really slows down the internet here, and stops people working so may have to leave it until my trips into SP next week.
