IT. IS. OVER.
Hey, I survived:) It wasn't as bad as I thought; I even made loads of new friends today.
I seriously hate the uniform. And I can't believe I actually walked around in it in ION when I went for lunch. Got some seriously odd looks like, "What the?" and practically everyone raised their eyebrows at us. My feet have officially died for the day.
Anyway, it was actually quite frightening when we went into the waiting room. But then people automatically came up to us to form alliances. After that, the whole thing's actually kind of fun. Most of the alliance making part went something like:
Me: Hi, I'm Australia, from council ECOSOC 1. You are?
Random person: I'm USA. Let's make alliances!
Yep, so it was actually quite easy.
The ACSI and HCI people can TALK man. The moment they introduced themselves, they started on their stance immediately and I obviously couldn't catch up with what they were saying. So I just nodded my head and acted as knowledgeable as I could-.-
The presentation part wasn't as scary as I thought it would be either. Although I did embarass myself today, as usual.
I really didn't know how to answer their questions. So I ended up getting this single statement:
"The delegate of Australia needs to do more research on blablabla issue."
HUMILIATING.
And another one, because I kept forgetting to speak in third person:
"The delegate is reminded to speak in third person."
Sigh. What more can I say? On the whole it was fun:) Especially the part on making alliances and meeting new people.
Looking forward to the Masquerade! :D
the world will turn WILD.
