Lots of Videos and Pictures
I'm going to start posting the rest of my videos and picture which will take some time (be patient with me, for some reason it takes this website a long time to reformat my videos). I want you all to be warned that they probably will not be in chronological order. I will post the date and subject matter with all of them so no one will be confused. If anyone has any specific questions feel free to ask them!!!!

Back in Sunny South Florida!
I'm home!!! It was a very long week in NY and a wonderful experience.
Saturday night after I posted we went to the Empire State Building. It was freezing but the view was absolutely breathtaking. Sunday before we went to the airport I ate a NY cheesecake for breakfast and then we went to Chinatown which was......an experience lol. The last thing we did in NY was take the subway to Central Park. We all sat in the 40 degree weather, ate hotdogs, admired our Chinatown purchases and relaxed. It was the most beautiful park I have ever been to, although I wish I could have taken a carriage ride. When we were walking back to the hotel to get our baggage we saw Trump Plaza, 5th Ave. Presbyterian Church, St. Thomas, and St. Patricks (it was nice to see all of the people going to church for Easter services).
Dr. Morton showed us all our distinguished delegation award when we landed in Ft. Lauderdale, we were all so proud.
I'm happy to be home resting (I think I slept until 11 this morning). It's back to reality tommorrow.
I still have alot of pictures I was not able to post while in NY because of lack of time (each video takes about 20 mins to upload). Hopefully I will have most of the pictures and videos up by the end of this week, I also have to get the pictures of me (like the one behind the UN podium) that were taken on other cameras.
Keep looking for updates, I hope you all have enjoyed my adventures.

No More WORK!!!!
To start off I just wanted to let everyone know that we (Canada) won a distinguished delegation award for NMUN (YEY!!!!) only about 70 schools won an award and only 30 won distinguished. The only award higher is Outstanding Delegation (which only 17 very experienced schools won. We are all very happy and very proud! This is the first time at the conference for all of us and we all kicked serious butt.
I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday I was really tired. I went out last night to Radio City Music Hall and Rockefeller Center even though I had to wake up this morning to go to the UN to vote. It was really cool to see the board light up with everyone's vote (I made a video). When we voted yesterday in our committee, all 4 of our resolutions passed (I worked on 2 and my partner Nonie worked on 2). The work was well worth it but it's really nice to be done and be able to enjoy the city. Tonight we are going to try to go to the Empire State Building =)
Closing ceremonies were really fun because they were in the actual General Assembly Hall at the UN. I took tons of pictures and I have a picture of me at the podium.
I'll post pics and videos tonight because they take about 20 mins each to upload and I wanna get out and enjoy the city after an intense week.
Thank you all for your encouraging comments this week!!! I love you all and can't wait to show you all of the pics and videos I have because they are more than I could ever possibly post.
