Model UN

Model UN is a simulation of the United Nations for students and i'll be participating in it this year! Last year Emily and I had planned on participating because it seemed right up our alley (the combination of debate and international events? heck yeah!). However, the band trip was planned for the same weekend and as far as our band teacher was concerned "band is your top priority, regardless". Alas, neither of us went to Model UN last year, but this year without the obligations of band and with added bonus of getting CAS for it (especially the international minded part) we've hopped on the bandwagon without a second thought. We lucked out actually, last year there were too many people (our school can only take 12) and they resorted to putting speeches together and shortlisting. This year, however, there were exactly 12 people who came to every meeting (Emily and I among them) and we got the 12 spots while everyone else was put on the replacement list in case anyone gets sick or whatever. So, yeah model UN here i come. We haven't started any preparations really other than choosing our preferred countries and committees. I hope we can get started soon, i'm really excited! Well, i'll update whenever we actually get started. So, bye.
