Pre-Conference Workshop

This is my article about the Pre-Conference Workshop (the thing I took notes for):


The seemingly monochromatic tiles dotted the walls as the delegates listened attentively to the speaker in the DISEC conference room. The Council was already into an elaborate discussion about the procedures and their usage.
Each delegate was sitting upright and stiff, paying their utmost attention. Bust as usual, nothing can be perfect, and there were several bad eggs scattered around the rooms.
There was a boy sitting in the back, hiding his QWERTY keypad cellphone beneath the table and (seemingly) discreetly chatting with his friends on Facebook.  Nearby, another boy was passing a chit to get a message around. In front, another person was whispering to his friend.
To top it all, most delegates admitted that they were bored; so in order to generate a new interest, there was a new idea for an unmoderated caucus:
"Who is worse at singing: Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black?"
The first to respond was the Delegate from Argentina. Claiming that Rebecca has the "worst lyrics in the world", makes songs about "which seat she will take in the car". and that he will "sue her for ruining his ears."
The Press head quickly shot back that "at least Rebecca donated her money to Japan after the earthquake."
Before the argument could complicate further, the chairs took a roll call and dismissed the delegates.
