It\u2019s raining and the sky has the colour of concrete. After following the instructions of Miguel Gallardo, I arrive to find that the house is almost empty.

Obviously, this house was the best decision for moving the AEGEE servers (which probably each of us use but tend to forget) to\u2026 After some time spent with rearranging a room full of boxes and desks, all the other inhabitants of the house arrive\u2013 all hurrying, bringing more and more of their belongings.\u00a0 Since, if their suitcases could be stored in one of the rooms on the second floor (there is a third spacious floor as well), the endless boxes with archives of AEGEE would need a lot more.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking that I was only going to be the official photographer, I was surprised to realize that I was \u2018upgraded\u2019 to a box and wardrobe mover.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-15722\" style=\"margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zeus.aegee.org\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2786-195x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"182\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zeus.aegee.org\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2786-195x195.jpg 195w, https:\/\/www.zeus.aegee.org\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2786-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 182px) 100vw, 182px\" \/>Driving around in a rented van, the CD has chosen the cheapest but also the most tiring way of moving \u2013 doing it alone. And when I mean alone \u2013 that\u2019s the truth. Not a lot of people were present to help Luis, Beata, Miguel, Pavel, Anna, Lucille and Kathrin. However, the people present did a lot of great work! And in order to ensure the functionality of the archives, Edouard Mougin has found his way to Brussels together with Carol Bello. And here I come \u2013 on my day off \u2013 to move endless boxes and bags, including the many forgotten or just left things in the common room. But it\u2019s worth it ! The happiness of\u00a0seeing the old house completely empty together with the big, clean and nice rooms of the new house which is literally in less than a 10 min&#8217;s walking distance from the European Commission. That\u2019s the moment when you realise what a good decision it has been. When asking each of the CD members if they would miss the old house the only answer is \u2018Don\u2019t think so. But\u2026maybe later we will see\u2019.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15724\" style=\"width: 205px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeus.aegee.org\/magazine\/2013\/02\/07\/the-new-aegee-home-is-already-welcoming-you\/img_2799\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15724\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15724\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-15724  \" style=\"margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zeus.aegee.org\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2799-195x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zeus.aegee.org\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2799-195x195.jpg 195w, https:\/\/www.zeus.aegee.org\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2799-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15724\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With a rented van, driven by Miguel, the CD was moving without any help.<span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">seeing the old house completely empty together with the big, clean nice rooms of the new house<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zeus.aegee.org\/magazine\/2013\/02\/07\/the-new-aegee-home-is-already-welcoming-you\/img_2779\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15725\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zeus.aegee.org\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2779-195x195.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"176\" height=\"176\" \/><\/a> \u00a0 <strong>Let\u2019s wish them lots of productivity, great achievements and emotions under the new roof and also, obedient AEGEE guests.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Written by Liliya Buyukliyska, AEGEE-Sofia<\/em><\/p>\n<p>P.S.
