“That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on.”

― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Similar things are happening in Hungary right now. Not even dystopia anymore. Terrifying...

Café hopping on a cloudy weekend day.

Savoring my full weekend off & tackling some research-related work that I’m getting involved in now that I’m halfway through intern year.

1. Read through project proposals & pick 1 (2, perhaps?) to get involved in

2. Start reading articles for lit review, perform another search of the literature, & start outlining lit review

3. Wrap up initial stage of QI project & submit first steps of implementation plan

Studying, studying and more studying. Can't complain though, what I'm reading is very interesting. I only wish deadlines didn't exist.
