11:03 AM - Getting high school vibes but not sure why. Wow, ok I found it after wandering around aimlessly for a while. You’re not going to believe this, it’s also tucked away behind a cafeteria, how can anyone go to these meetings with food lingering nearby? Unreal.

11:04 AM - Dag Hammarskjöld, for the unenlightened, is Swedish for cramped auditorium.

11:06 AM - No disrespect intended, in reality Dag did some great work for the UN as Secretary-General back in the earlier 1900’s. But oh my god! It is a high school auditorium. Super small, similar décor, there’s even a piano in the corner on stage. I am literally expecting people to run on stage singing and dancing except the stage is too small and there are no flower-bearing parents in the audience fawning over bad singing.
- Have to give credit though, these seats are really comfortable - way more so than my high school auditorium. Although, I actually did hear that was getting renovated…
- I just can’t get over how small this auditorium is, especially compared to the General Assembly room – which is tremendously impressive.

11:07 AM - There are officially AP Calculus conversations going on behind me, and SAT II conversations to my right. Heyyyyy high school!

11:26 AM - The inevitable, “I study too much,” comment comes from behind me followed by the even more inevitable, “I don’t even take school seriously,” line.

11:36 AM - Wait no – MySpace – facebook is not for high school. Correction: actually facebook is definitely for high school now. Come on kids, get a life.
- Oh who am I kidding? I wish I was doing it too.

11:40 AM - But more importantly, hey, she’s got an accent and is kind of cute, let’s see where this goes…

11:55 AM - Oh sweet heaven! We are literally introducing a step dance group!!! I knew this felt like high school.

12:12 PM - Wow, some really scantily clad performers just got on stage. It’s like a skinemax version of cirque du soleil. The group is called Life Sport Performance – it’s basically two girls doing strength acrobatics.
- It’s kinda hard to call this one – kinda impressive, kinda sexual, kinda awkward for the youth. Let’s give it to the audience… Hey they liked it! All right!

12:25 PM - Consider talking to the British girl next to me. No time.

12:58 PM - Should I try to meet up with the British girl after this?

1:03 PM - Do or die time with the British girl…

Oh yea, definitely had lunch with the British girl after the assembly, sweetness…
