Leaving AAST today after the YES Project session, I was grabbed by a couple of guys from AIESEC and dragged into a classroom - turns out they're trying to start up a new chapter at a seperate university in Cairo, and they wanted a demonstration of what a rolecall was for the attending students/potential future AIESECers. Out comes Baby Shark, to general amusement.

I swear, there's a hidden extra box on my personal "AIESEC Experience" diagram labeled "Acting Foolish for the Amusement of Others". Ever since I danced on my own in front of the whole AIESEC US Leadership Team last LTM it's all been downhill.

But it's all good. Being a part of AIESEC can mean doing a lot of different things - sometimes you're leading a team of people and trying to give them the best experience you can, sometimes you gotta make a fool out of yourself to get a cheap laugh and break some ice. I've always been kinda shy so doing dumb shit like the dances and roll calls, especially on my own, has always helped me get over my nerves. At first it was a case of making a few pratfalls so I wasn't taking stuff too seriously, now I don't worry about it so much cause no-one's gonna think I'm a jackass for busting out some sweet moves during Kalasnjikov.

In a similar vein, during Monday's LC meeting we did some dances at the start. I was told to put on Let's Get It Started, but it turned out no-one knew it. Solo dance ahoy! It went so well I got asked for an encore, so I once again said a silent thank you to the fine members of Georgia Tech as Bebot hit the playlist. I was tempted to play the infamous, banned-in-the-US Reach by S Club 7, but somewhere I felt Jen glare at me and decided to stick with the current vogue.

Yes, I am a dork. But that has never seemed to bother people too much, so why not run with it?
