MY boring life

As the semester draws near, so is are my stress hormone levels rising in an exponential rate. *grumble. Just deadlines and deadlines to meet. Anyway, i will be fine. Still hanging on....
I volunteered myself to be the 'lab helper' in my laboratory, so as to increase my non-exsistant basic wet-lab skills to something useful. I guess crossing over to a suddenly more bio based lab is a double obstacle path. If you dont know nor understand the use of the basic skills on e.g: plating, culture cells, dilutions, use specialised machines, how would you know how to plan your own experiments? Even if you have a hint of an idea of what you want, how can you express it in paper since you have no idea how the experimental setup should go? It boils down to just working twice as hard, learning while churning out ways to create experiments which can lead you closer to the goal. As i learnt, it is not easy to sit down and PLAN an experiment yourself, and to excute them perfectly. Often, it screws up. You overlook details. Unexpected human or random errors occur. Oh well. Rattling off.
The newest forecast... do checkout the link i have given on the right hand corner of my blog. Perhaps snow is approaching. Ah well. I wouldnt bank on it. Forcasters....
