Cote d'Ivoire

We got our country assignment early for NMUN, and the U of A will be representing Cote d'Ivoire in New York. I am totally psyched. Most of the team wanted Iraq REALLY bad, but I didn't. Frankly, I'm so bloody sick of even hearing about Iraq in the news, it would drive me up the wall, around the bend and through the roof to then have to devote so much energy to studying it. Not to mention that I want the World Health Organization simulation, and really, as far as I know, Iraq and HIV/AIDS don't really have a whole lot to do with each other. Granted Iraq has an AIDS problem like any other country, but getting a country in disease-ravaged Africa gives me the chance to really be aggressive.

Not a whole lot of other news. I wrote a midterm yesterday, and I'm starting to work on a few papers now. I know it doesn't fit my MO of waiting to the last minute, but I have something like 6 papers/assignments due in the same week, so I have to sort of start working early.
