RMUN 2008. Actually a very interesting experience. Yeah, I hardly spoke and was absent for the conference half the time, but I dont regret joining. Its been such a learning journey. The people in my council are really nice, and made alot of new friends. It was hard getting used to all the formalities of the conference, the directors always had to interupt us midsentence to remind us to speak in third person. Point of personal priviledge! Haha we ended up refering to other delegates by their country instead of their names.

We passed two resolutions I think. One written by Japan and USA which passed pretty easily with some amendments. The other written by France and a whole lot of other countries was amended so much it almost changed form. We had to vote four times, and motion to divide the house before we could pass it by a slim margin.

RMUN crisis on the second day. North Korea wanted to launch an attack on South Korea because of a severe shortage of food. We combined councils to debate on the crisis, though I wished I stayed longer it was more interesting than our individual councils. At least there was a topic countries strongly conflicted on.

d&d! There was the weird name picking game but it didnt really work out. Some delegates/directors went up the stage to dance, omg some super funny. But according to Cheryl, people werent as enthusiastic as last year. We ended half an hour earlier, some people even left early. My council went for supper later but I couldnt go): End of RMUN, I kind of miss it. Council meet-ups(: Superlatives haha omg. And I still dont know who __ is.
