I had a pretty hefty post written when the Internet broke.  Much like an ant must think the world is ending when it rains, when I can't access the internet in the middle of a blog post, the entire information superhighway must be under construction.  

In the interest of laziness, I will summarize what I wrote:

The MUN conference we attended was not the best I've ever been to.  It was the second, but I can tell these things.  A few of the doozies:

• Syria signed on to a Middle East peace agreement written by the USA and Israel.
  
• Non-nuclear countries will help nuclear ones get rid of their nukes.
  
• The UN is invading Somalia.
  

After the conference fifteen students, my co-worker and I traveled around Chennai and Pondicherry for a few days.  Activity week was going on last week, when many students go on insane hikes or live in a local village for a week.  I got to do the following:

• Go to the beach and swim for the first time in a long time.
• Eat French food
• Eat beef almost every day at Sparky's
• Visit the second largest courthouse in the world and sit in on a court case
• Visit one of the first British forts built in India

All in all a good week.  Upon landing in Delhi, we heard via a parent that our school was in the newspaper!  Apparently, the FBI caught a guy who said that a terrorist group may be planning some kind of attacks on high-profile schools in North India.  So, in addition to a general high alert, we have 40 armed police roaming around campus.  You can read about it here.  Another interesting note, the principal addressed the school about this issue.  He mentioned that these men are "rough" and girls should avoid inappropriate dress.  Really?  We have rapists guarding us?  I guess nobody wants to mess with a rapist...
