I gave a speech today in front of my committee highlighting the working papers that Canada is sponsoring. I got a note from the Russian Federation that said "ROCKIN SPEECH" lol. (maybe I'll post my speech later)
I am so exhausted! I just got back to my room because I stayed after formal session to help facilitate a merger. I am not happy about this merger at all. I have been working with 5 other countries on a peacekeeping and peace-building resolution for the past 2 days (I'd explain it further but it would take a while). It has been submitted and resubmitted and edited as a working paper and our director was finally prepared to make it into a a draft resolution but asked if there was another paper we could merge with (to limit the amount of resolutions). Well there was another res that we were prepared to merge with WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!! I went into "aggressive Heather mode" when I felt like our ideas were at stake. Finally at 11:30 we went from a working paper to draft resolution 1/3!!!!!! HOORAY!! Usually you can only submit papers during formal session but our director recognized our work and stayed late so that we could have priority as 1/3. I also have another working paper that should become a draft res tomorrow. We will be voting tomorrow at the end of the day.
In other news I had my first New York pizza today!!! Google had said that John's Pizzaria had the best and I found it today.....definitely in the list of top 5 best pizzas I have ever had. I'm too tired to deal with posting videos tonight but I'll try to have some tomorrow and I'll post a picture of the merger.
Goodnight Everyone!!!
Heather
PS- I promise I will explain everything about committee when I get home.......I know it's confusing!

I wonder if they will take your resos and actually give them to the UN members (the real ones)? That would be ultimate cool if they ever listened to what the real world wants. You are doing a great job and I knew "Heather Mode" would kick in and kick butt. You are so passionate! Too bad you are not running the country right now - then maybe things would get moving! You tell them to move or get out of the way - the Leader is here! Love ya!
