Rubiks Cube of Complexities

Attention please! Attention please! Don't dare to talk! Don't dare to sneeze! Don't doze or daydream! Stay awake! Your health, your very life's at stake! "Ho ho," you say, "they can't mean me." "Ha ha," we answer, "wait and see." ~Roald Dahl

That was Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

My political science class participated as mediators at our school's 2nd annual Peace Conference today. The topic this year was the conflict in Darfur. I was extremely nervous about it, but it went so well!
I was so impressed with some of the students. They actually cared about the conflict and the conference. Of course, there were students who couldn't have cared less, but a lot of them were wonderfully active participants.
I was especially proud of my group. As the mediator, my job was to sit back and let them find a resolution, being involved only when necessary. They were fantastic; I barely had to do anything. They were very mature about the whole situation.
After lunch, I gave tours of the art, theatre, and music departments (none of which have anything to do with my major, oddly enough). That was . . . interesting. I could only give sound information on the theatre department, but thankfully I had Jessica, an art major, and Dr. K., our head of the music department. After tours, all the negotiation groups shared their resolutions.
The whole day went so well. I am convinced this was the result of much prayer and the hard work of the people in the peacebuilding class (especially Vanessa!). So, "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" seemed an appropriate term.
