As this year's RCN Model United Nations conference has officially been opened with tonight's Opening Ceremony I would kindly invite all of you to take a trip with me back to last year's conference, but also to look at the changes for this year. The travel from the delegate of the State of Palestine of to Ms. Mette Dehlbæk, chair of the DISEC committee.
Again this year MUN last for three days including today, tomorrow and Tuesday. Delegates in DISEC will be discussing, with me charing, the question of total elimination of nuclear power and so far it seems as it is going to be a fruitful debate. Delegates are as always asked to use formal language and dress accordingly to the formal dress code. Delegates not following these instructions may be excluded for the chamber for an amount of time set by the respective chairs.
.. Okay, really, it gets old. I can talk like this all day, no problem. I love dressing up and I wouldn't mind doing it every day for the rest of my life, but when I get home, back to my room and put on pj-pants and a sweat-shirt, I wanna be able to let out my thoughts and use "I" and not "the chair".
Just like with a lot of the other things I am experiencing this year, it is a totally different but just as meaningful experience to be 'on the other side'. I see the first years going through MUN with thoughts exactly like mine were a year ago, and still they don't understand that the advice we give as second years are really from experience. I guess everyone will have to learn on their own.
Here is a link to the media's blog: (yes, a gossip column from the conference) - most of it is pretty funny: http://mun2013.tumblr.com/

As IAs (Internal Assessments) are thinning out (I finally finished) and mock exams are only three weeks again, the end of the term; the two years and graduation seem closer and closer. Though it seems like this winter will never end and I will never see anything but a school book again, summer is really getting closer quite rapidly and suddenly it will be May. Universities, summer jobs, drivers license and future plans are filling our senior heads, as we try to get every last squish of joy and happy memories out of this place.
Hopefully we will succeed as many items have already been checked off my bucket list. More about that in the future post :)
Happy almost last month of official winter (even though we all know about Flekke and snow in May..)
