hey chris im from san diego also! my friend and i are going to this together. wat school do you go to? I go to Our Lady of Peace (olp). btw everyone else.....im a junior and im 17.....and we only have14 days from today to go!!!!

yea, only 13 days now! can't wait. it also seems we should be pretty evenly divided politically. should be interesting!

Yes, it does seem we are divided politcally.

That makes sense Shiloh, I wouldn't be too excited to fly that long either.

Hey all the new people! My name is Ally, and I am from the wonderful state of Texas! Love it here, gets kind of hot sometimes.

Only 13 more days, and I am sooooooooooo excited!

Well heres a little bit more about me. I am a Libertarian and a hardcore Pittsburgh Steelers fan. I'm an Army JROTC cadet and a Junior at Seneca Valley Senior High School. I listen to anything from Punk Rock to Gregorian Chant. After High School I plan on serving my country as an officer in the United States Army. I tend to be loud and run my mouth with out thinking about it, so if I do offened anyone, please accept my advanced appoliges. So peace out and see all of yin's* in DC.


*Yin's- Noun, substitute for the word 'you'. Most offen spoken in the Greater Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania

hey catyshack, i go to granite over in east county.

good to see we will have differences in politics, it will allow for entertainment. if we were all the same it'd be less fun.

so..... any one else having trouble paying attention in school becuase this trip is so close?

or am i just overly excited....

I'm not paying attention much in school in general now. I'm a second semester senior so...... well yeah I should but it's hard. Instead I'm waiting for the trip, trying to stay on top of things politically, and wondering how to pack for this thing. Anybody have any suggestions regarding a good way to pack "professional attire"?

Yes, paying attention is school is very hard your senior year! I am a senior to. I skipped my Junior year of Highschool, so I am a sixteen year old senior. I get a lot of grief for being the youngest in the class, but its ok, I can take it.

Since everyone is giving info about their political side, and their favorite sport team preferences, so should I! I am a conservative, and always lean towards the republican side. I am a supporter of George Bush and the Iraq War, and Condoleezza Rice is my HERO! And I love the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS .. who are by the way .. GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL.

Hey everyone, hope your psyched for the best DID session theres gonna be, so shine your shoes and press your pants cause its gonna be Insane! Basicaly im from Roanoke Va, so im not really travelin to far, so anyone else commin from Va? if so thats awsome, if not bring a coat - its not exactly Florida.....or even North Caroliina for that matter....but anyway my myspace is http://www.myspace.com/galxygazer

and about not paying attentio nin class......IM IN CLASS RIGHT NOW! so no, definetaly not paying attention in class lol

Yup, I never pay attention in class. It doesn't matter what is going on, I just get bored!

Favorite collegiate team is the national champions, Texas Longhorns! I am from Texas so that makes sense. Favorite basketball team, gotta represent my Dallas Mavericks. Can't say the say for football. Cowboys are okay, but I love them Seahawks!

As for political issues, don't support Bush anymore or the war in Iraq. Don't claim Republican or Democrat, just depends on the issue.

umm dont have a page so email me or chat with me on AIM or Yahoo and send a pic all is in profile on here. but yeah cant wait to go so exited.

i wish i was a senior.... junior year sucks

and ally.... longhorns all the way! that championship game was pretty intense

and as a side note my screen name is Bombman03 for anyone that wants to chat

Whats everyone thinking the simulated situation is going to be? It something on Nigeria. I'm guessing it'll have to so with the oil in the delta region and the MASSOB splinter group in the south west or east don't remember. I did a topic like this in MUN, which I run at Arlington. I'm from Pouk NY. aka po-town.

Go packers, go Giants, go Cal, and go Steelers in the super bowl, sorry all you Seatle fans but big ben is the real deal now, and the bus in his hometown, it's a wrap.

Hey everybody, I'm Josh Piron from Lima, OH. I'm 18 years old and I'm a senior at Shawnee High School. I've never been to anything like this before so I'm a little nervous, but I can't wait to get there and meet everyone.

Hey Josh, welcome to the group man. i can't wait to get to d.c. either and its so close i can almost touch it. o man am i psyched

i think we're all really psyked! its not that much longer

anybody got an idea of how many people are going to be there during this session? just kinda curious...

Yes, the game was pretty intense. I have no freakin idea how many people are going to be there. Only one more week of school, and then we get to go! Who else is excited?
