I had a pretty unproductive day today. Upon realizing that all I have left to do is write this paper, I suddenly became completely unable to write anything intelligent.
I went to a documentary screening at lunch of the the movie "Tapped" for World Water Day (which is Saturday). It is a documentary about the bottled water industry. While I completely agree with the main point, that water is a universal right and should not be commodified, and the bottled water is ridiculous, the documentary presented
During the scenes describing the perils of plastic bottles, including Pacific Ocean garbage patches, leaching of chemicals into the water, most of the waste ending in landfills, they played the song Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead, which I thought was a bit too literal. When I told this to my intern friends, they did not know what Radiohead was! That made me feel really old. Also, I am now having a bit of a 90s music listening binge.
I am planning a couple of trips for the weekend to Chamonix to ski and to the Jura for a hike. It is quite complicated to coordinate 10 interns on two different trips!
