R E V I V A L please ^

praise Him for his provisions!..

so yeah, just got back from Boston last night, 1140 pm.
I'm still suffering from post-harvardmun trauma(excitment)

I have to say, other than the intense debates, there were a number of pretty fun and silly experiences too! :)

So anyways, in the International Court of Justices, the judges have to wear robes for every session. And in as professional a conference as harvard mun, each of us in the ICJ were made to where the robes for our session, and were allowed to where them out as well.

Every mun has its own traditions in terms of the last 2 hrs of committee session, where the delegates get to do silly things. And in Harvard, and by right every other mun, Justices from the ICJ are to receive standing ovasions and a short time to speak when they enter any committee at anytime. This is done in the real UN as well. So all the justices in this committee have been planning to do prance into as many committees as we could the last 10 min of the court sessions. And at the last day, we executed our plan.

Little did we know how bad that would back-fire.

So the 9 of us, (the rest of the 13 were not present, some of them were disqualified),eagerly walked down the hallways to decide on which committees to walk into. And because this was the last committe sessions, many of them were in voting procedure, and we were not allowed to enter. But after a while, we decided to enter one of the largest committes, Disarmements and Security, in order to receive the most amount of applause. But when we walked in, the delegates were so clueless as to why these guys in robes were prancing through the committee session and standing in front of everyone. But as a procedure, the dais asked everyone to stand and applaud. But what we got was jeering and puzzled coutanances. haha, and when we were asked to speak , we had nothing to say. then the dais simply went, "thank you judges for the visit, now LEAVE MY CHAMBERS!" haha, we were so ambarrased that we were chased out like that.

So the next stop was the the UNICEF. We decided that that was a smaller committee and that they would be more respectful to us. But this was even worse. This time, NO ONE stood, and instead, some one shouted, "look! the justices are standing for us!" how ambarrasing. But the worst part was, the dais was especially cruel to us. He made sure that no one stood or applauded for us. And when we shamefully left the roome we were literally ATTACKED by the Chinese Circus! That was really funny. The chinese circus is formed by the delegates of the Chinese Politburo as tradition after they finish the topics at hand. What happened was, they held up the china flag and used it as a blockade to prevent us from entering our court and threw paper and cups while firing their toy guns at us!

which i have to say was an accurate rendition of the scene, because the toy guns were probably made in china and so were the cups.

Haha yeah, well, i think i'm probably gonna post once more about HMUN and that would probably be it. so yeah! praise God :)
