I'm having some serious problems sleeping in these mornings, though I'm not sure if it's the amount of light, the cathedral bells that go off every 15 minutes, the birds, or some underlying psychological illness. It makes working from 2-4 PM rather difficult, but seeing as we apparently can take 2 hours for lunch at WHO, perhaps I should just start siesta-ing.
Got a 1/2-fare train pass last weekend, so I've been trying to plan all my weekends in the next month: I'm thinking Bern, Lucerne, Interlaken, Gimmelwald, possibly Ascona, Neuchatel or Basel. I'm so much more motivated when I only have a month to do all this. ..
...and speaking of motivation, I love staff meetings. I get to do things after they're done. And now I think I can work it out so that I can write a memo on indigenous rights in India and Nepal that will serve as 1) my research project for the summer, 2) a legal writing sample, and 3) my contribution to a human rights and equity statistical analysis that might -- cross fingers -- be published in the Lancet this fall. And how cool would that be?
This is week 7 in Geneva already, and being Wednesday, it's what Mr. Williams would've called "hump day" -- the absolute middle of my little adventure. Time goes so quickly here.
But maybe time just goes too quickly generally. I should've spent that extra 9 CHF to upgrade that package of Paris sketches I sent home to first class, I suppose.
