History, Running and Movies

Today was a pretty busy day, I went swimming in the morning, and had lots to work on this morning before meeting with Nicole at lunch.  I am happy to report that I will not have to go back another 3 years for my literature review, which would have more than doubled the amount of work I have to do.  I will be finishing up all my data entry this week and should be able to start writing next week, horray!

This afternoon, I went to a seminar on the history of the WHO.  One of the presentations was on an analysis of the photographs published in the WHO newsletter in the 50s, 60s and 70s and another was on the establishment of the WHO from the perspective of the newly emerging independent Indian state.  I learned a fair bit, since I know pretty much nothing about how the WHO was established and developed in the early years, and there was also the bonus of free sandwiches and coffee!  I feel like I may be developing some really terrible eating habits of stuffing myself whenever there is free food, and refusing to eat when there is nothing available that is a reasonable price.

This evening, I ran the first interns jogging group after work.  It conflicted with a film screening by the sustainability committee, so there wasn't a great turn out, but I got to meet a nice new kiwi intern and had some running company.  I tried to go to the Human Rights Film Festival tonight, but it was sold out, so I just bought some popcorn and walked home.  Now for some Spain trip planning and sleep!
