Warning Life Update - 10-09-2006

So, now that I'm having sort of a break from my studies and MUN activities (September 7th is Independence Day here), I figured I could bother you guys with what I've been doing.

So, I think I left off when I represented the Netherlands in a MUN. In order to put you guys up to speed quickly, I've travelled to Argentina in January (Buenos Aires and Bariloche).

Then, in the easter holiday, I attended a MUN at Brasília (capital), representing Japan in the Committee of Science and Technology for Development, where we discussed sustainable energies. I must say, it was one of the best times I've had in my life. And I put out a very good academic presentation as well (as opposed to the one last year, since it was my first one and I didn't knew how things worked. I also didn't put much effort into studying properly).

Following that MUN, I had another one here in Rio in late July (this time with a group from my school that I assembled). I represented Denmark in the UN Security Council, discussing the nuclear programme of Iran. I didn't do as well as the one before, but I think it was an "alright" performance. Most of that is due to school exams, because I had to get som high grades at some subjects and had to reduce the time I studied for the MUN.

One week after that, I had my first Vestibular exam. Fortunately, I got an "A" grade, what already gives me 20/100 points in the overall grade (with "B", you would got 15; "C", 10; "D", 5; and "E" eliminated you).

Now, I've subscribed myself to another MUN in early November, and I'll represent France in the World Economic Forum. The topics are the BRIC group and alternative energy sources.

So, in a nutshell, that's it. Of course, other stuff have been happening in my personal life, but I don't want to bother you that much
