Brazil. Why Brazil? The MUN country listings are out, and we got Brazil. I mean, come on, I know nuts about Brazil except that it possesses the Amazon rainforest which is under threat, meaning our environment committee will have stuff to talk about there, and that it produces rather good soccer stars regularly. The last item doesn't concern me at all. What kind of human rights issues would Brazil face? Ah well, looks like I've got tons of research to do in the long run. I wonder what the Brazilian accent sounds like...
Our school is sending in two delegations this year. The second team is representing South Africa. Why are we getting all these wierd countries that appear in the news only because of soccer and apartheid? Ok, S. Africa would be interesting in terms of human rights. But Brazil...? I dunno...
It's getting so cold and rainy these days. It's been raining non-stop this morning. The weather is perfect for staying at home and sleeping. It's during times like these when I like to imagine myself snuggling up in bed with a huge comforter around me, pillows large and small piled high on the bed, and a cup of hot cocoa by the bedside. The glow of the firelight adds soft homely touches to my room, and I enjoy hearing the sound of the crackling fire. A large fur rug is stretched out across the floor before my bed. Outside, the snow is gently falling, adorning the evergreens in white. I hear the church bells toll in the distance, while the angelic voices of a choir carolling waft me to sleep. My book lies half-read on the bed.
Where the treetops glisten, and children listen to hear sleighbells in the snow...
