Spain is starting to get back in the game. America thinks the country has found new purpose in being a part of the United Nations and participating in all the things Spain is participating in and even finding new things to become a apart of. The outlook is most definitely good (but obviously not without it's challenges). Spain may one day choose to trot the globe after this experience and that, to America, is most important. Spain has also found a renewed sense of vision for the future and America is also really happy about that!
Korea keeps plugging away with homework all sorts of consistency. Korea has been fantastic at not only keeping up in her homework but doing well in it also. It is hardly noticeable that she struggles with the language in this area. Korea has also been able to spend time with the countries allies in school and has been looking forward to the Freshman-Sophomore Banquet that will be happening in a couple weeks. The biggest discussion with her has been where to get the hair and make-up done so that Korea looks her best.
Both of these member countries had an International Affair put on by the Student Council (a dinner for the International Students). Both Spain and Korea thought it was a great night and they both were able to talk to and meet people. They both came home raving about the good time, Spain even mentioned something about the boys dressing up as girls and the girls dressing up at boys. America did not ask details but is sure that it was mocked.
The issue of leaving earlier in the morning was, once again, tabled by Korea. It was a bit puzzling to America as to why. The last time it was tabled and discussed, the UN-mobile was running a bit late for school. Lately, however, the UN-mobile and all member nations have been on time. No one has reported tardies or anything like that. The UN (okay, it was America) decided that this was not an issue and that the UN-mobile would continue to leave at 7:30. Korea and Spain both get defensive when this is brought up and poor America has to stand in the middle of two very tense nations (okay, when has America ever shied away from that???) but all America has to say about that is that it is different in a car. Both countries are very self-controlled, much more than America ever was at that age (and probably more than Fiji was at that age too), and not volatile so once the decision was made, that was that.
Today is EPA-Day (Environmental Protection Agency/Action) and it was the first EPA-Day that the four member nations have been home since the last incident. Spain has a 24-hour extension on his contribution to the environment because he first discussed it with the host-nations and America voted in his favor because America (and the other host nation) felt it was a good cause (Spain is spending time with the first host American and doing some much needed shopping for the colder months ahead, then off to an American College Football game with relatives tonight).
Sad day yesterday, Calvin lost their football game and now the season is over for Spain.
And today America is thankful for Japan because it is the first Saturday in many weeks America is able to spend a little time with the UN's Sony TV.
