Hard Work and the Model UN
This Easter weekend I'm pretty sure I've spent something in the neighbourhood of ten hours working on this year's Model United Nations. Either with or without Dani. It's a lot of work. At times dreadfully annoying, shocking and/or stressful. But in the end it's worth it. There's a certain sense of accomplishment at the end of the day when you realise that this year's Model UN wouldn't have happened if you hadn't done the work you did. At this moment I have edited eleven topic papers. That means we have eleven topics that we can talk about at the Model UN. We usually have more than that and there are still some delinquent organizers who still have to hand their topic papers in, but we now have enough that if by some unusual twist of fate we can't get any others done we'll still have enough for the conference. Part of me is disappointed that I'm not the Secretary General this year, but if I'm entirely honest with myself I'd much rather be a Director General. It's much more fun to actually be involved in the debate. (Even if I don't get to point out my own oppinions) This year I'm going to be a DG in Special Political with Brenna and we have Dani, Geordie, Janet and Joanne in our council. It should be awesome.
I can't wait.

I'm 99.9% (after some clever investigation) sure that this is Martha. If it's not, well, then I look silly. That wouldn't be new. :-P
Anyway, I was talking to Brian, Devin, and a fellow at our work called Sean McNeill about starting up an Irish language study group over the summer. Just us, plus probably my partner Vanessa (if you're frightened of Aralt, as Devin is, don't worry; I'll be leading the group to begin with). It would be taking place at my apartment. When isn't certain yet, as no one really has any idea of their schedule for the summer, but it'll probably start after the Immersion Weekend, which is April 22-24, because that's when the weekly Irish classes (my sole indulgence) end.
Are you interested? Email me at the address in my info, and I'll keep you in the loop.
