So I'm sitting here in my bed with Alexandra and Tove with the intentions of working on our Model United Nations resolutions, but instead we just all ended up doing our blogs and email and stuff. Productive.

Too much going on, like usual. I'm getting First Aid training this week, but I think the reality is that I don't have enough time to be a First Aider. I'm running for 3 different spots in different organizations on top of all my regular schoolwork and I've decided to more regularly write for the school magazine. Ehhhh.

MUN is stressing everyone out so much. I'm representing Pakistan, head scarf and all. Should be interesting, and will definitely have pictures.

Holed up in my bed and watched the State of the Union address the other day...the entire like, hour of it. 'Twas interesting and quite worthwhile. If Congress hadn't given a standing ovation every 2 minutes, it would have been better, but that is the beauty of an unnecessarily burgeoning bureaucracy. Still, I thought it was something for most Americans to be proud of. Internal affairs are another issue, but the President seemed to actually be outlining what was, for him, frighteningly close to actual exit strategy in Iraq and pledged millions of dollars to eliminate HIV/AIDS in Africa as well as troops and money to Darfur. Also, I could have watched the speech just to see the reactions of Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton. They were amusingly restrained with their applause and approval. Ahh, wouldn't it be refreshing to have a sensible woman in the White House? Haha, but then again, who even knows what the right choice is anymore?

Okay, perhaps I should get back to the MUN stuff. I'm writing a lovely speech to give to the entire delegation, mostly about how Pakistan mourns the plight of the Muslim world on the global stage and such. Good, right? Haha.
