MUN- Countries!

Today we had our first meeting for MUN that wasn't about money or when we would be meeting. This week we were assigned our countries. We got very good countries this year including Syria, Turkey, and Macedonia. After reading the t, I knew topics that each committee would be covering, I knew I wanted to do Desec because it was covering land mines and critical matters or war technology and I found that problem very engaging. I wanted to to Syria but the spots for that were already taken so I had to choose Desec for Macedonia. I am still very excited because even though I did not get my first choice country, I got my first choice topic, which I think is more important. I am glad that I now know what I will be researching and it is something that is very improtant matter in this world.

Volleyball- Falculty Game

This was my last game ever a a Sturgis Storm volleyball member. It was different then most other games because the B and A teams played together and the B and A teams all played every position instead of just our normal positions. It was fun but because there was so many people I didn't get to play the often and when I did play it was in a position that I was not used to play in a game like back row or server. During the game I missed all three of my serves which was disappointing because my serves had been so much better in practice but I never had served in a game before and I just wasn't used to it. I did make some good receives and hit the ball over the net which made me happy. What I loved about this game was that I got to see just how far all the players had come. We may have lost but most of the girls playing had never played in a game before and now were playing much better. I have seen improvement in them and in myself and I am sad to let this team go. I hope to continue playing this great sport in some form at college.
