Well, this is the last band concert for Bill, and perhaps the last for me as well. It really kind of breaks my heart, and I admit crying while he was saying goodbye, because part of me felt like I should be saying it too. Most of the band still doesn't know that I might not be there next year. I had people asking me if I was okay as I walked out of the room, but I couldn't tell them either. Besides, it's Collette's birthday today and Ashley's tomorrow. I'll tell them after Canada or during Canada. I don't know yet.
Bill showed us a slideshow that he made, so now I have to make a new video. A better video. With amazing interviews and crap like that.
I'm determined. Just you watch.

After the Eurasian Conference!
Well, the EC was on Friday, so I'm a little (really) late updating this, but I'm working on packing for Canada anyways.
Those of us who had the top eight major countries (ie. USA, Russia, India, Germany, UK, China, Saudi Arabia, and France) banded together to form CAGED, which was summed up pretty well - the Coalition of Ass-Kickers. Really. Together, we won all of our issues. Sometimes we had to compromise, but isn't that what the whole world should do?
We only hit a speedbump when Spain started trying to negotiate with not all of the countries in CAGED, so we disbanded for that topic only. After that, we were back on track on our quest for world domination!
One of the highlights was when Russia signed their sovereignty over to Algeria. It didn't really matter with issues, since it ended up as an almost unanimous vote for the last issue, but it was still amusing.
At the end of the conference, I figured that I'd done alright. I was really dreading it the night before, but I ended up having fun. It was really nothing like the Pan-African Conference, thank goodness, and it was much more interactive. I even made a few speeches, which was rather surprising. They need a smaller podium though. I couldn't see over it. ._.;; Prolly a good thing, since I would have been freaking out if I could see. Not that I wasn't freaking out afterwards anyways.
Overall, it was just fun. I laughed, cried, and was frustrated many times, but I know that somehow, I had fun. And I learned something.
As for Japan, I still haven't made a decision. I'll probably make one after Canada.
Sayonara!

My Brain is Dyingggggggg~
Talk about a definitely crazy and hectic week. Just for my brain. >_<; I don't know how much more of this I can take. Last week, I was battling with myself - now I'm battling with my grandfather in Japan. He wants me to go to Japan for schooling next year, and while I know that it's a great opportunity, I don't know whether I can really leave this. I just . . . I don't know. I need opinions.
On that note, I speak very little Japanese.
I'll figure something out. Somehow. Don't ask how.

Hi all.
Well, I'm fighting with someone on topics, which is always exhilarating, but you know, it's a little disconcerting because for once, I actually have to watch what I say, mostly because it will end up biting me in the ass later, at the Eurasian Conference. It's rather uncomfortable.
Woot! Go UK!

Alright! So, I don't quite know how to use this yet, but . . . that's okay, I guess. Uhm, yeah. I'm just attempting to put a first post up. So, yeah.
Yeah, this is a really awkward post.
Yeah, I think that I'm just trying to take up space. Because it's fun.
And I'm procrastinating. Because I don't want to write another 2,500 words tonight for my book. It'll be boring. Not really, but . . . it'll take time.
And I need to stop looking for games for my DSi.
