AAHH MUN is the best thing.

AAHH MUN is the best thing. :D Um, advice. Get a good group of really enthusiastic people, teachers and students alike. Try to organize events that the entire school can participate in, like a cultural foods and customs fare. Try to get registered for the nearest conference to you, so that there's a clear goal to work for. Also come prepared to the conference. Plus conferences are crazy fun and there's usually a dance. Try working with social studies teachers in your school to run Model UN sessions in their classrooms, with the MUN members serving as moderaters. Maybe if you've got enough time throw in a crisis, those are always fun. Constantly encourage people to get involved.
Uh sorry, the MUN at my high school was sort of hardcore. And massive. :D We got credits for participating. And shirts. And possibly it was a bit of a cult.

Ooh, I like this question!

Is this schizophrenic-delusion thing something you just thought of, or is there some sort of book about this, or what? Seems like a great premise for a book....

I think I'd probably live with my delusion and hope that everything worked out, but break up with it if its not-being-real became too much for me, except breaking up with it wouldn't work; it would have to break up with me eventually.

It's hard to run a model UN

It's hard to run a model UN at school simply because of numbers, but there should be one in your area which you can send a delegation to.

your life is Fight Club, except Tyler Durden is your boyfriend?
