📅 November 16. We leave this country and land in the United States. In one week we will visit Princeton University, United Nations Headquarters and have the privilege of participate in the PMUNC (Princeton Model of United Nations Conference). Most of us (including me, and my partner Patricia) will represent the Syrian Arab Republic, even though we have companions that will represent USA in Security Council. Well, that was all formal and 💩, but the thing is that with the position papers I've felt so stressed, but I have to say that I'm proud of our work (patricia and mine) 11 days we've had 7 monthly exams, lots of work and 2 position papers (worst thing ever). If y'all don't know what a position paper is: torture a.k.a. an essay in which you have to summarize the topic that you will have to discuss during the working sessions, the position of your country in this theme, and finally solution (kind of like hell). It sounds horrible because it is, but it's worth it, after all you learn a lot about your country and its position, and helps you a lot in middle of the working sessions. Right know Patricia and I are (postion paper) stress-relief but know comes the other part, prepare arguments for the few hours that at the 4th working session (second day of the MUN) happens where nobody has nothing to say and people just start talking about irrelevant sub-themes. We need those arguments so we can out of nowhere pull out a interesting theme that people will want to talk about, but, how one of these arguments can become interesting: by pointing out a mistake made by your enemy. Well good night fellas!! Have fun and enjoy life I'll go back to no-sleep yes-syria's medical healthcare is sh*t. Ohhh!! I didn't told you!! Okay: Patricia and I represent Syrian in the WHO (World Health Organization) it is super interesting because the main theme is about how to respond to different disasters (anthropological {caused by men} and natural), this relates to medical health a lot, because if you don't have a "nice" medical healthcare how are you going to respond to a disaster? By external humanitarian aid, so what we need to discuss is how and who is going to provide the help. PS. I will film a few videos of us in the middle of the MUN, or sleppy at 2 a.m. working, and everynight I will try to report you of what we've done during the day. Syria's fact: there are only 72 ambulances actually working in the capital of Syria (Damasco) and these ambulances leave the patients in hospitals, only 42% of the hospitals in Syria are working, and gotta say they are working poorly because of the super population in the hospitals and lack of medicines.
