Still alive

What happened in the past two weeks:
1. My boss came up with a short-term project involving visits to all perfumeries where we sell our products.
2. I tried to explain to her that I lost my driving license and I was not driving for four years (and before that I also didn’t drive much).
3. I got my new driving license.
4. I took driving lessons.
5. I got a company car.
6. Since Tuesday I went to Teplice, Ústí n.L., Plzeň, Hradec Králové, Pardubice, Havlíčkův Brod, Liberec, Mladá Boleslav and visited 21 shops. Another 50 are on the list.
In the same time I had two VIP guests in Prague – Aram from Armenia and Matt from Canada. Both reminded me some great times we had together. It was like traveling to the past.
Besides that I am preparing country presentations (Armenia and Tajikistan obviously) for Global Village organized by AIESEC on Tuesday 15th.
And by the way I registered for the final exam on 15th December. I should start to take it seriously really soon. So please believe me, I AM BUSY (no kidding).
