Because It's Beautiful

I quite like the word 'attribution'. I also like 'retribution'. Maybe I just like bution.

I was slightly suspicious of thrilled by the fact that I didn't have a lot of homework, until Kim informed me of some history questions which are due on Monday. Now I'm waiting for someone to tell me what questions we have to answer. We're currently studying historiography, which I can't imagine ever pertaining to my life, ever. Three cheers for useless school topics!

I'm not just wasting time, though. I'm also reading my brief for the South Jersey Model UN (SJMUN) conference coming up on October 21st. My topic is "Effects of Chinese Economic Expansion on Global Oil Markets" and my committee is the World Trade Organization. From what I've read so far (the first paragraph), China is really big and using up a lot of resources and the rest of the world must band together to prevent the evil Chinese Overlords must destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mordor is pissy about it.

To be very honest, global economic politics is far beyond me; I don't quite get why a barrel of gas can't cost the same going to China or the United States. Anyway, my country is Portugal, which as usual does not at all pertain to the topic at hand.

There's a guy who's been in the same committee as I in both conferences I've been to. I don't remember his name, or his grade, and he's not incredibly attractive or anything, but I usually associate him with Model UN. He has blue eyes. Just throwing that out there.

Also, S. has now become Sage (thank you, Kim). I doubt I'll be talking about him at all, but, in case anyone wanted to know.

Yesterday, I went to the aquarium with Shari! I think our experiences can best be summarized by the following picture:

 

Taken by Shari. I ought to make this the banner of the blog. Because it's beautiful.

 

Finally, I'm going to be a cat for Halloween. Good night!
