WAY over my head

So this was my post this morning on faebook: 


Harvard United Nations Model U.N- First Reaction- "Holy-! Way too many people!" Later reaction at session that night- "So not prepared for this." Later later that night "Such a comfy bed....zzzz..." First day at Model UN XD ps not direct quotes :P

I am definitely not prepared for this, at all. Not the amount of people, not the amount of information I am not sure on, not even what we're supposed to be doing. I did all the research, wrote the position paper, but that still doesn't mean I can find someway to insert myself into these discussions and debates. At the least I can follow whats going on and know what we're discussing, but when it comes down to actually taking a chance and speaking it just isn't going to happen. My committee has 115 ish people, and its not even one of the large ones! 

: O

There are 3000 delegates here! And I think a few people I met last spring in Washington, but I can't be sure since none of them are in my session. I did meet a cool girl from Canada, and another guy representing Israel, and a girl named Jocelyn, but for the most part its difficult to start up conversations that don't just include your country name and the committee the person isn't interested in. Oh well, not like I like to talk to people too much anyway....

On the whole, this is a god experience, and I would probably do it again, but I'm definitely going to be more prepared and bring meals since they don't even offer them and I'll have to buy them all weekend :O Dude there goes my wallet, lol. 

Hope you guys are doing well!
