PSF GSoC students blogs: Week 7

I'm on my fourth rewrite of the ManyToMany migrations, on one hand really wanting to learn to do this right, but on the other this only applies to two fields and for past suborg applications: years that the suborg applied but was not selected, and years the suborg participated in GSoC. Its questionable how important retaining this data is.

On a personal note I've been having a lot of trouble focusing on GSoC work. Three kilometers from me we've had police and now federal paramilitary soldiers attacking protesters, blanketing he region around our federal courthouse in a thick blanket of chemical weapons, and challenging the inalienable right to free speech that serves as a foundation our democratic republic. We often hear gun shots at night (which we hope are at least rubber bullets and not lethal ammunition) and terrifying news reports of my neighbors being wounded, even our mayor being tear gassed. This has persisted for 2 months now, for the duration of GSoC with no end in sight.

Work must continue, but is made especially difficult by all this. Its been an exercise in learning how to center myself so I can focus on my work.
