Reflection-Part One

Wow...this whole experience has felt like a whirlwind! It seems like just yesterday I was preparing for the conference...and now it's completely over!

I must say....this was a wonderful experience! I learned so much about the girls-well, women-that I worked with, and it didn't take me long to realize that we had a powerhouse group from Columbia College this year. I'm so glad that we all did so wonderfully after all the hard work we put into it....and even better, I know we can all say that we made Dr. Jones incredibly proud and made all her hard work worth it.

I'm all over the place in this blog because I have so much to say! I think I'll keep my general comments and reflections in this one, and talk about my committee and the work we did in another one...I think the work Italy's delegation did on the CCPCJ certainly deserves its own entry.

Chicago was amazing (and freezing!)...the hotel was incredibly nice, and the men and women from all the other schools were just as amazing. I met so many intelligent, fun people...these are definitely memories I'll never forget! I loved working with Jennifer...as a returning Model UN'er, she was incredible with helping me prepare and for calming my nerves...I couldn't have done it without her! (I'll have to remember to thank her in person). I'll also have to thank Dr. Jones for the opportunity and for all the preparation and encouragement she gave us.

Hmm...I think the rest is for my next blog...
