IC Day 2 (2007-08-22)
Clapping hands and knocking on doors the Congress Committee (CC) wake-up team destroyed my sweet dream at around 07h30. Wanna know what? Breakfast started at 08h00. “Why the hell are the waking me up by now?” I asked myself. Until now I still didn’t find an answer to that question. Anyway. I got up, went to have breakfast. If you now imagine that breakfast consists of a large buffet like in a hotel – no chance. 
Every delegate gets the same breakfast every day: I plate with a piece of cucumber, half a tomato, 1!! slice of sausage, 1 piece of sheep cheese, some olives and a little bit butter and jam. In addition you can have black tea or water and you are free to take some slices of bread. Wow, once more I was disappointed. No comparison to conferences in Austria where you have a big buffet where you can take as much as you want of anything you want. I guess we should do an inkind-raising training for the CC :-)
Then, Wednesday morning after the breakfast I was ready for the first session. We all were in a real big lecture hall, having the chair (a cool guy, ex President of AIESEC International some years ago) on stage calling all the countries to do a role call. Austria was singing “Schi fohr’n", getting same applause. At least we were more creative than many other delegations. At least 5 delegations were singing “Happy birthday” as a role call for some fake birthdays.
To be honest, the rest of the morning was quite disappointing as well. When I went to IC I thought that this might be a VERY cool conference where I get soooo much input that I can then use in Innsbruck. To be honest: the very first day already destroyed my hopes. As I said: the sessions in the morning were boring, repeating old stuff everyone already knew etc. It was that awful that I decided not to go to the sessions in the afternoon but better have some sleep. Seemed to be more valuable to me as I was very tired and feeling too well.
Concerning the rest of the day: getting up at around 18h30 I just had to wait for half an hour for dinner, had to attend another short session from 21h00 – 22h00 before the first party started. The theme was “sexchange” and AIESEC in Austria was of course very involved *g* All boys were at least (if not totally) dressed up as girls whereas the girls were wearing shirts and ties. Sexy Bene and me were wearing Dirndl, Vlad, Matthias and Amit were wearing skirts and bras and Peter was just wearing a scarf instead of trousers or a skirt J However, no one of the Austrian delegation managed to become “Miss IC 2007”. *g* Have a look at the pictures, we would have earned to win :-D
