Health and Humanities

On Thursday morning, I went to the Graduate Institute to a workshop on health and the humanities.  It didn't really have anything to do with my work at the WHO or back home, so I went purely for interest's sake. Most of the presentations delivered, with a presentation on the representations of Autism in literature and pop culture, a medical anthropologist comparing the use of medicines in developing nations and the UK and a sociological analysis of organ donation.

I continued my intern habit of binge eating any food that is free, and ate about 6 croissants at the workshop coffee break.   I went back to work after lunch, because I couldn't justify spending the whole day on workshop that has nothing to do with my project.

I had a meeting with my capstone group on Friday morning at 2am, so I intended to go to bed early and wake up for the meeting.  Instead, I started watching Season 3 of Homeland and ended up watching that until my meeting started at 2.  I really shouldn't watch that show in the middle of the night, by myself, because I end up getting freaked out.  The meeting went pretty well, or as well as a Skype meeting with six people and no agenda can go.
