ENJOY II

Hello Everyone Again!!!

HERE COMES PART TWO --->

”You are going to have to dream, so why not dream BIG”-Donald Trump

I ended my first blog entry with a quote, so I guess that it is only necessary that I start off this blog entry with great quote!!!

Today was a rather fascinating day compared to the others in the past. I was a little lost at in the begining but managed to find my way around. Today first started out when I went to visit my two very lovely friends Shiana and Tiffany in their respected laboratories. At first glance I was amazed with how “sterile” (Shiana’s wording) their laboratory looked and how well their mentors taught the required material. The two of them showed me around their laboratory with eager enthusiasm and explained in great detail what research project they choose to immerse themselves in. Tiffany, AKA Tiff, (but I think that I am the only who calls her that) sole responsibility for today was checking out the concentration of proteins within a given solution. It looked very intense while Tiff was “pipetting” all of the solution, JOB WELL DONE TIFF! On the other hand you have Shiana; she was busy trying to find a particular Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequence in a plasmid. I could tell by the look on her face that she was extremely focused because every time I tried talking to her she would discreetly tell me to be quite. Fortunately, due to technology Shiana resorted to the plethora of computer programs on the Macintosh to look for the sequence by the push of a button. I looked at the sheet of paper and was stunned with the amount of jumbled letters ATATGCGA and was surprised Shiana did not get sick… yet another, JOB WELL DONE.

So forth on my adventures, Alex so happened to pop in to Shiana and Tiff’s lab so I inadvertently invited myself to take a tour of Alex’s lab. I walked into the lab which is very interesting by the way, I first saw a poster with “How to dissect an embryonic heart” INTENSE!!! Later, Alex and I cruised over to Andrews’s lab because of the amount of down due to PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). Once in Andrew’s laboratory I looked up and saw YET another poster of “How to dissect a mouse”. This time however, I was not as amused by the poster. We conversed with one another for several minute until I concluded that it was time to get back to our labs.

Yes, indeed <--(Kim’s Favorite word) we where using our time constructively.

Finally, after eating at Jimmy Johns I so happened to tag along with Mon-Ning. Let me tell you here lab is breathtaking to the highest extent, but not to the point to where one are breathless (hahahaha). Yeah, I know I am bad at jokes!!! Anyways, in her laboratory every little Test Tube, Petri Dish, Bottle, Pipette (and tips) had its own little place in the lab which is on the contrary to my laboratory. Furthermore, I would rate today an 11 on a scale of 1-10. Thanks everyone and have a safe and fantastic weekend!
