MUN

So we are finally here, or in a few days at least, the week we’ve all been waiting for, the Model UN week. Our resolutions have been written and all tree of them passed. Ass I might have told you my country is Bhutan and our resolution is about the slum proliferation in Asia, then there is Saudi Arabia and Ghana, which are countries, also represented by students from my school.

Tomorrow is the final long training before we on Friday have a training mock debate with Victor Rydberg Gymnasium (a school which has come all the way from Stockholm for the MUN week). Then Saturday we get one day’s break before it all starts. Everyone who’s not having Model UN is going out this evening since we are for the first time allowed to be out until 1.30 in the evening… I want to go too…

But then on Sunday we have to be up and ready at 10 because we are then going to have a day of mock debates against Victor Rydberg and Rainbow International School of Uganda which are both coming to our school.

On Monday the actual MUN week starts and we’ll have a week of early mornings and lots of debating different resolutions. It will end with a banquet, which is supposed to be really long, and boring and we’ll all get a certificate that we’ve participated. What would make all our work seem so much more worth it is if our resolution passed. It would just be the perfect ending but that totally depends on the other delegates representing the other countries. I really don’t believe we could have written a better resolution and I have full confident that Frida (our ambassador) will present it in the best way possible to the other delegates in the human rights room. I myself will be sitting in the economy and therefore wont debate any of the “Swedish” resolutions.

// Now I beg you all to cross your fingers and hope it goes well for us next week because we are all horribly nervous //
