Conseguí la entrevista para el estudio extranjero en España el año próximo. Estoy muy feliz...
Pero...
Tengo un problema español
Lo cual es:
I have trouble speaking Spanish.
Really, I do. I can construct a sentence in Spanish but it will never come out the same.
I am taking Spanish course to practice, but every time I try to speak in class I get so self-conscious that I have no clue what I'm saying.
I didn't do well on my Spanish test yesterday, and interview is coming up very soon. It's make it or break it. I guess I'm a step farther from Spain.

McMUN? More like McFUN!
Oliver Shen
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
The Executive Committee of the United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees
McGill Model United Nations Conference at Montreal was a lot of fun! I got to know so many people from different schools (Harvard, Columbia, MIT, West Point, Air Force Academy, and Venezuela)! I also got to learn so much about UN procedures and topics on refugees. Georgetown was the biggest winner in this conference, then George Washington. But congrats to our NGO delegation, Medecins Sans Frontieres, for winning the best NGO delegation out of 10 NGOs! You all deserved it!
But... the debates and resolution papers were a bit off topic :S
Like, what does sustainable development, micro-finance, and vocational training have to do with rising food prices on refugees? Just supply more so the prices will get down! Well, it got so off topic that I didn't contribute a lot in the debates.
Nevertheless, it was fun. I only slept about 4 hours a night because of the parties. Got back to hotel at 4:00 and wake up at 8:00 because committee sessions started at 9:00.
Some people in my committee will be going to Netherlands too in March! Can't wait to see them again!
