Been Too Long

Its been quite some time! UI've been really busy recently and I haven't really updated anything in a while. Anyways, the Berkeley trip was really fun. Too bad I stopped posting after the third committee meeting. I was the only one in the group that actually went to the closing ceremony that day. The ceremony was alright. Except I happened to sit next to the group from Mira Cosa High School. I swear i have never seen another bunch of humorless people. They were all serious and stuff. I liked the ones that were in my committee. But yeah, they were pretty cold.

After everything was over, we went to an Ethiopian restaurant called Finfine. It was the first time I tried that kind of food. It was actually pretty good! You eat everything with your fingers with these bread things. I thought they were towels when they first came out. Smart huh? anyways the stuff tasted like sourdough bread only it was unleavened.


Overall I thought that the food there was extremely delicious and if anyone is in the Berkeley area, please come to this restaurant.

After, we headed back to the hotel, packed and headed to the airport. We happened to see Edyta from Dancing With The Stars and Ms. Park went nuts! No Kidding

Since then, I've added the people I've become friends with on Facebook but haven't really talked to anyone recently.

Committee Conference #3

-1.30-
Okay so I just got back from lunch and the third committee conference has started. We've begun discussing the resolutions in the formal caucus. I'm not sure what the next plan of action is going to be yet but i'm pretty sure that we are going to be voting on the resolutions next. I'm a little groggy from all the food I just ate (Calamari and grilled skirt steak from Blake's). 

The conference is going to last until around 5.30 today and the Delegate dance is going to be tonight. Aaron doesn't want to go for some reason but I'm going to try to get him to go. 

Anyways, many of the resolutions on the floor right now are very innovative and unique and its really cool. 

-2.39-
All the resolutions just passed. I really don't know how that happened but it did. we're moving onto our next topic "The Global Problem of Street Children". The speakers list has just reopened and I am number 24. Now I have to make some changes to my speech to fit the new 1 minute 30 second time requirement.

United Nations Committee Session #2

wow this is really cool. I was just able to connect to the UC Berkeley internet a while back (thanks Hugo!!) anyways our topic for discussion right now is "Childhood Education in the African Conflict Regions" there are a lot of well versed people here so the debates are very informational. Anyways we're almost dome with the speakers list and we're about to send up the resolutions soon. I'm a sponsor of the US resolution but I'm also a signatory for the Russian, Argentine and  

I'll keep you guys updated and I'm still working towards reimporting all of my lost blog posts from facebook.
