* The UN tour was probably one of my favorite things we did this entire month. It was amazing to see the large conference room and just knowing that diplomats from around the world meet here to try and create peace just made me giddy. Even more exciting was the lecture on the International Atomic Energy Agency. I was really impressed by our lecturer, and even more impressed by our class and the intellectual questions that they all asked. I didn’t know so much time and effort went into controlling the atomic energy that is in the world. It’s also nice to know that safety inspections are done regularly and that there are many positive factors towards using atomic energy. It was a bit disturbing though when Mr. Kinley told us his job is one that keeps him up at night. He made it clear that there is a lot of work to be done to ensure more safety, such as having more countries to agree on joining the agency, as well as informing us about terrorist threats.
