SIMUN

It was like a rollercoaster there was ups and there were downs just like a roller coaster. Stevenson’s intramural model United Nations (simun) was over all pretty good. When I’m in line I’m always nervous or scared that’s how I was heading into simun it was scary but exciting. When I get off a rollercoaster I think to myself oh wow that was fun or that wasn’t too bad same with simun we finished and I thought wow I shouldn’t have gotten all worked up it’s not that bad. The ups were that I successfully spoke three times and I helped write a resolution. The downs were the questions I didn’t like thinking on the spot that much but the good outweighed the bad. I also think it was kind of hard to remember all the sayings like point of privilege, point of inquiry, and I would like to make a motion there are three of them I thought it was kind of hard. Although I didn’t really like the questions I think I did alright I mean its hard but you just have to know what you’re talking about which Is when the research comes in.
I did research before simun it was kind of hard to find all the information I needed and that’s why I think I wasn’t as prepared as I should have been but that was the hardest part I think putting all the information wasn’t that hard. The research kind of helped me I think it gave me a little bit of knowledge on what was going on but I still didn’t fully understand all the topics. To help me understand I talked with my fellow countries and figured out what everything meant. I think the countries around me were a lot more helpful them my research. That’s why after we got a new topic I would need to have a caucus so the other countries and I could talk about the situation and se wear everyone’s country is at. Without the caucuses I don’t know what I would have done. I think with the caucuses I did alright
I did pretty well considering it was my first time. I gave three speeches and asked no questions but I actively participated in the caucuses. Next simun I am going to try to participate more my goal is to make 5 speeches and ask at least 6 questions next time we do simun. Although it was all pretty hard I liked the experience and I think it was good to use my brain a little.

my book has a lot of information it also has a lot to take in. what I understand most of it, the writer is very descriptive and makes everything understandable. There is only one problem i have with it, how can the government be so stupid sometimes. In the book it is 2003 and they are going to let 9 people be president for a month and chose out of them who ran the country the best and they pick very bad people according to the girl who uses her fake name called Riverben. They picked some guys who were about 80 and i think that is bad because most likely they are going to die soon so you can't rely on someone who might go any minuet. Then the rest are very stupid and Riverben calls them all puppets. I like the how the writer is very descriptive so i always know what she is talking about and i can totally understand it that's why i don't have to many questions.
