It HAS been an extreme week for me, but it has all paid off!
MUN started yesterday morning, with me absent for school. Yay!
Basically I saw the Concordia MUN team with Mr Larson within the first 2 minutes, and that was a great feeling being able to see the first Concordians since January.
Anyway, moving onto the actual conference, it was much easier than I anticipated, and the chairs were actually quite friendly and helpful. Day 1 was lobbying and merging all 3 topics, and after that was the first debate on the first topic, with 2 resolutions failing and 1 passed. Unfortunately mine did fail. Lunch was average, and probably the only thing great about it was that it was free. Dinner on the same night was excellent, it was just amazing how many people were here. The fries and the rice and the meat, and just about everything was great.
After dinner was the most amazing time with the Concordians! After dinner at around 6:40pm me and the rest of the Concordia Beijing MUN team walked to the nearby Shard Box store, where people such as Casey decided to buy boxes inside of boxes inside of boxes. After that we went into the Golden *something* street, I don't quite remember the name. Basically all fake goods, and all you can buy is some funny looking clothing. Luke and AJ decided to buy those punching gun thing, while Gnyanesh decided to buy to ear warmers even though winter is over already... Next part of the night was bowling, probably the most fun out of the night was this. Surprisingly I remember my bowling score from the Christmas Party with Concordia which was just 25. I ended up getting over 70 and getting 2 strikes, which was infinitely times better than Christmas! We mixed up our names, and we made nicknames for the bowling score tracker. And right after bowling was the ice-cream, which was quite nice too. And that wraps up Friday night.
This morning (Saturday morning), I came out more relaxed than yesterday. Instead, today was just the debating of the other 2 issues we didn't do yesterday. After a heavy fail in our 2nd topic with just 2 people voting for the resolution, my 3rd resolution was different, because I signed it with a completely different group. And so the 3rd one was passed, thank god I had a resolution that was passed! After the closing ceremony, I had to say goodbye to some great new friends I had made, as well as fellow Concordians too. :(
Overall, MUN is great, I actually kind of regret NOT doing it last year. I met up with several new friends from SAS, ISB as well as some other schools too. Definitely going to do HS MUN next year. :)
Hopefully someone can post some pictures on this?
Isn't it harder to get into HS MUN?

Well it is harder, but not extremely hard.
