Being me i have to start out with a complaint, and that complaint is, we presented at camp darfur for way to long. by the end of the second day i wasnt interested at all and i didnt teach anybody anything, I was so tired i just told them to read the board and ask a question if they wanted. it was exausting. it was too much for me. Even now as i read this im exausted. In addition, it had the added side effect of making me realllllllllllllllyyyyyy not care. Another related side effect is how badly i most likely did on the spanish exam today because i was to tired to study the last 2 days. I liked teaching people about iraq and darfur, but it was really repetitive considering we presented that at exhibition. The tents were really hot and stuffy, as well as small and cramped. For the Iraq tent, it was nearly impossible for people to watch our documentary because of the many speakers that spoke in close proximity to each other. I dont think anybody made it through more then half of our documentary. It was OK. really time consuming though.
Honestly i didnt really listen to the speakers, i took it as a time to lie down and stay cool so i didnt overheat. i only really listened to majour malou, and he said some really interesting things and he told a really good story, but i would rather have had francis talk to us.
It impacted me negatively, i dont care about anything anymore. but, i think i really made a few people care, which would be good, if i cared. it was ok, good experience in setting up an event and stuff. it was cool, i guess

I have to agree with a lot that carl said about the tents, exhibits and the speaker. I did leave knowing more than when I first arrived. It also inspired me to watch the documentary film, the Lost Boys of Sudan, which I found to be very informative!
