September 14: Worked on my chemical biology poster this morning. At one point, I had to stop because I really wanted to go to the kite festival at Bondi Beach. I took my laptop with me for the long bus ride, though…
Ok, voor de studiegenoten:Column chromatography: sample bovenop, gaat langzaam door de column heen. Column is silica gel en de eluent die we gebruikten vandaag was dichloromethane met 10% methanol. Sample was 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein en propargylated 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. Propargylated was de gele en…
September 11: Lab went well today. I spent ages working on a silly calculation, but I finished what I wanted to. In the evening, I went with the "lobotomies" to a science trivia activity organized by a bunch of science student associations. There were...
Got up early and went to Holme Building for a mass trauma simulation I'd signed up for as a fake patient volunteer. Apparently, I'd misread the time, so I was half an hour early. I worked on some uni stuff.
September 8th: Just a regular day at university. In the afternoon, I had a meeting with Charlotte, with whom I'm doing my poster presentation for chem lab. Afterward, I spent some time in the library working on a computational analysis assignment for "Beyond the Genome," even volunteering in Matlab...
September 3: In the morning, I had a neuroscience tutorial. I got some pasta for lunch at the Courtyard Cafe and went to the lab, where I luckily finished fairly quickly. One problem, though: I found out we'd be having groups…
This morning I had a pharmacology quiz (counts for 10%), but it went worse than the practice test, unfortunately. I think I passed. The lecture I had afterward was neuroscience, and there were really only 20 people present. With the Dutch person...
August 27: The neuroscience tutorial was fine, with a bit of explanation and assignments. We got lunch at Laneway (where they have $5 lunches while supplies last). Then we had the chemistry lab, but it was a complete mess. The chemicals...
Aug 24: Took the train to Auburn Botanical Gardens, because there was a cherry blossom festival there! Apparently, it was the same train as Cailene and Cynthia, so when I walked up the stairs at Auburn Station, Cailene quietly walked beside me until...
Aug 19: Genome lab was halfway interesting today, though I did have to crack open a gel for the first time, which was fun! After the lab, I chatted a bit with the group I was in the same line with and walked a bit together to...
