Taipei101

I typed this so many times I started typing it as the password for all of my accounts. Gmail? Taipei101. Facebook? Taipei101. MyHarvard? Taipei101.

Now I'm finally here and WorldMUN is in full swing. I was interviewed today and they asked why I decided to dedicate my time to WorldMUN and I think I never really knew until this week. If you had asked me before now why I put in 5 hours a week minimum into WorldMUN office hours and meetings I wouldn't really know. I loved the people I worked with but wasn't sure where this was all going. But after a successful registration and meeting many delegates (who after one day I can't much remember but will surely start to after 4 more!) I'm starting to much better understand the answer to the question "why WorldMUN?".
I'm not trying to sell the organization to anyone. Being a part of it certainly has its ups and downs. But over all even after the very first day I feel invigorated (spiritually, physically I'm beyond depleted) and excited to be here and be both a big part yet also a very small part of what makes WorldMUN fun and function.

As for Taipei, the weather here has been great but somehow I've managed to catch a cold centered around my throat. This may have been from screaming I gotta feeling last night, but it also might have been from the 30 minute nap without covers on. Food here is cheap yet I've spent so much money on it lately. It's also hard to keep track of how much money I'm spending when the exchange rate is 36 NTD to the dollar. If I could do math (without a calculator) I wouldn't be a social anthro concentrator.

It's almost time for delegates to start spilling out which means I need to start working again. Cheerios.
