Journal 2.6 : Second is the BEST!

All trendy!

Presidential..

Waking up today, was so hard! After having so much fun dancing last evening, we had a good sleep, but for a very short time. And we had to dress up in traditional wear! So we woke up quite early and started dressing up. At the same time, we were also practicing our opening speeches since we were slowly sinking under fear. After we reached the venue ( Kodaikanal International Business School), we had breakfast and assembled in our respective committee rooms. My friend and I met only some of our committee mates last night during dinner. But we met all of them in the committee room. I was actually astonished to see most of them chilled out and quite relaxed, while I was shivering in nervousness. Shortly, our chairperson came in and summarized all the rules and told us to be chill. He said that it was completely alright to make mistakes because they are the only stepping stones to success! Guess what?! I was the first delegate to give the opening speech on the floor. Well, 'floor' is how they refer to the dais in MUN. The chair would say “ Delegate number 1, the floor is yours”, and I would have to go up in front of everyone to give my speech. We discussed a lot of moderate caucus topics today and also had a few unmoderated caucuses in between. We definitely had a very healthy debate. Every delegate put their views into such a sequence, that I was inspired by each one of them. Their uniqueness in the way of presenting their point of views was simple fascinating!

Thinking hard..

Also, I should tell you that the delegate who represented the company which must be convicted of causing the mercury crime, defended himself beautifully by giving simple counters to anything put forward from our side (the side which was is for the people). Though we didnt come to a stable conclusion today, we had a very balanced debate!
