"Monday night blahs" - Me

Monday blah. Today was my second day at the UN and I'm not going to lie, definitely boring and not that exciting... Not too much to do. I couldn't really do anything anyway because I didn't have a computer. There were also a lot of meetings that I 100% was not invited to. So it was kind of lame. But I got to talk a lot to my supervisor, get to know her, and find out about United Nations laissez-passer.

How cool is this?!

Literally.

The.

Coolest.

Wikipedia says this about it: United Nations laissez-passer (UNLP or LP) is a travel document issued by the United Nations under the provisions of Article VII of the 1946 Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations[1] in its offices in New York and Geneva, as well as by the International Labour Organization (ILO). As with national passports, some countries/regions accept it for entry without the need for a visa (e.g., Kenya, United Kingdom, Schengen Area, Lebanon, etc.), while other countries may require a visa before it can be accepted for entry to the country (depending on the nationality of the UNLP holder). Most officials hold a blue UNLP (up to D-1 level), which is similar in legal status to a service passport (however, diplomatic status may be conferred on the holder if the visa issued in the UNLP is a diplomatic visa). A red UNLP is issued to particularly high officials (D-

2 and above), and depending on their rank, this may confer diplomatic privileges and the red UNLP may therefore be similar to a diplomatic passport. HOW. COOL. IS. THIS. LIKE. I DON'T EVEN. I need one. This is my new goal. I can do this (I think).  

Dinner :D 

It was generally a pretty lax day. After work, I bought some food and some groceries from Fairway (which is actually pretty big and not too bad). Groceries in comparison to Canada are expensive here, but that is okay! Groceries and fresh produce mean eating healthy - right? Right?

When I got home I took a bit of a nap and then when my roommate came back, we cooked dinner, ate and sat together! It was so super nice, I really really enjoyed it. It was a great way to really end the day (we even both bought dessert).
