Thursday night at 9:00pm, all NMUN-ers come to Cheryl's house at 17200 Pickwick, to brainstorm ideas to keep the program going at PHC. Be thinking of ideas. We'll probably write a "position paper" using thoughts from this meeting. Bring you documents for Cheryl to archive for the future. Evening will culminate in watching "The Office" and eating snacks.
Directions:
Go in to the neighborhood right across from the school. First right (Pickwick), 2nd house on the left (white with black shutters).

Day 6...
(NMUN-NY from Room 1825/2. Michaela and Krystal reporting live from Times Square, NYC)
1. NMUN trip - $140.00. The Delegate Dance - $0.00 (and probably the only thing in NYC for that bargain). The look on Curtis' face when you tell him that you're going clubbing instead - priceless.
2. The Office pwns all. Oh wait. So do we.
3. The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. Need I say more? I didn't think so. (but you can go ahead and wipe the drool ;) )
4. Note to self: Don't show Sarah the 3 floors of women's shoes at Macy's (it could take awhile)
5. Best UN-speak of the week (from the NMUN Secretary-General herself): "I'll be glad when you go." (Translation: Really, we hate you all...)
6. "Decorum, delegates!" The most hated phrase in the international language.
7. I promise, it's just the UN voting machine. You really don't need twenty million pictures of it. Try taking some of the hot Italian next to you instead. Wait a second. Jon belongs to us...but we appreciate your vote of confidence. ;-P

Day 5
Lessons learned from a Friday night out in NY:
1. Take boys.
2. If you're going to go party, be prepared to wait in a 1/4+ mile long line.
3. While Jamba Juice may make you thirsty, you won't wake up with a headache from it in the morning...
4. Wait to find something you love before you buy it...
5. McDonald's costs twice in NY than in VA.
It's been an incredibly long week. I've never been so appreciative of good hygiene until I started smelling Europeans....from across the room.
Facts:
1. NY smells disgusting.
2. The streets are perpetually littered.
3. The streets are perpetually crowded (be prepared to push your way through).
4. Food is incredibly expensive.
5. Money flows around here like water down a bath drain; now you see it, now you don't.
6. If you're bored at 1:30 AM there ARE places to go and things to do (so unlike p-ville).
6. New Yorkers have incredibly odd fashion tastes.
LOVE!

Day Three
yo from room 1210 (just Jared and Curtis this time)
here is our daily list of lessons learned:
1. Little Italy is full of slimeball restaraunt owners who practice collegiate extortion
2. Taking out our suits, stripping half naked, flushing the toilet loudly and changing all clocks to 8:24AM, then screaming, "Wake up, Josh! Karson! Committee's in five minutes!" after getting back from Chinatown at 2:30 AM is very worth the dazed look on Fornwalt's face
3. The delegation representing the United Kingdom should really be able to speak English; just throwing that out there...
4. After talking with over 200 delegates in GA-1, it is lovely to talk to Kimbell, whose breath does not smell like decaying pork
5. If NMUN is any sort of valid sample of the rest of the world, then 95% of the globe is constantly fighting a killer hangover
6. Don't flash Times Square from the 12th floor when your room is across from a residential highrise (disclaimer: Neither Curtis nor I would ever think of doing such a thing)
peace until tomorrow. It's 3:30 AM and Fornwalt is grumbling about us needing to go to bed. At least we know where Karson is this time because of the inhuman noises coming from the closest bed.

Day Two
Things we have learned today (courtesy of Room 1210...me, Josh Fornwalt, Karson Bleile, and Curtis, of course):
1. If his diplomatic ability were measured by how many languages he can swear in, Josh Fornwalt is the next John Bolton.
2. Italian women have under-fros (soooo nasty)
3. Cheryl is the most reactionary person ever...I think I still have a bruise courtesy of I Am Legend.
4. Americans smell the best...especially PHCers

Day One
So, it's been a long day.
GA-1 has like 200 delegations, so everything is utter pandemonium. It's going to take forever to accomplish anything.
In other news, Curtis was/is losing his mind, but he's been amazing.
Things learned today:
1. 2. and 3. Nikki was not born yesterday (if only mohawk dude knew that)
4. Don't sit beside Jenna in a restaraunt (drink spillage)
5. Always assume Karson is lost
6. NEVER schedule additional meetings with committee members @ 11:30 (good job Lancee and Kimbell...lol)
7. Taking the stairs up and down 10 floors....don't.
Btw, where's Karson?
