You just returned from a three day endeavor at the Maine Model United Nations conference in Gorham, Maine. For the past couple of months you have been meeting every Monday night from 7:00-8:15 to practice parliamentary procedure, negotiating, and to do research on your country. As a delegate in the first every throwback committee (the
Berlin Conference 1884) you had to do research on the United States POV...this was difficult as the US did
not even attend the conference (the US was an
observer state). It didn't phase you though. You entered committee ready to make change. Your tried multiple times to create an inter-contiental railroad in Africa and open up the continent to further economic exploitation (although while trying to help the African people). You also tried to get voting status rather than observer status for the United States. Unfortunately, neither of you proposals passed. This was due to the insanely fluid stance many European countries shared...at first they were extremely racist (as they should be), but they quickly started to support African terrorists.

After three days of debate, a dodgeball game (which you helped win), and a disappointing Jeopardy game, the conference was over. At the awards ceremony you won Best Delegate for the Berlin Conference (and won a cool surf helmet) and also was apart of the US delegation which won best delegation at the conference!! Yay!
Although the past three days had been exciting, you had not worked on the project much. On Tuesday, you, Nick, and Liam met. You ordered supplies online, finalized pieces for the laser harp, and learned a new frisbee throw.
After the conference you went to frisbee. You were very thirsty and dehydrated there. After that you went to swimming and now are finally about to eat dinner.
It was a good three days, although this weekend will be much more productive for the project.
