Hi Everyone, I finally got in the lab this week. I am grinding to get all my work out of the way before I go on vacation. It looks like I'll be in the lab all week. I was finally able to plate my bacteria with honey. I did mess up twice on one plate and was ready to forget it, but I got it in the end. Aside from that, I also have to work on my organic chemistry knowledge. I need more confidence in that class, so I plan on studying extra.

Hi Everyone, Unfortunately, I had another week of uneventful lab work. Veterans Day threw my schedule off. I was disappointed in myself for not having much lab time. Next week, I really have to get stuff done. I'm hoping to have good results before Thanksgiving. On top of that, I'll be gone for most of Thanksgiving week, so I'm also trying to complete work for my other classes. I feel ickiest about organic chemistry class. The concepts are super complicated, and I wish I had better base knowledge. Because I didn't have much time in the lab, I could not get a picture of anything, so I enjoy a picture of the organic chemistry work I'm trying to decipher.

Hi Everyone, Unfortunatley, I've been sick the entire week, so I've choosen to stay out of the lab. I've used this time to work on keeping up with my Organic chemistry class and Critical thinking class. I've also used this time to further go over my project. I excited to jump back into the lab.Because I wasn't able to do any experimentation last week, I know I'm going to have to work double time to make up for lost time.
