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.

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...

Slept through my alarm again, oops. That afternoon I volunteered at a USU "sandwich making" event for children at school without lunch. It was quite a funny experience and gave me a sense of accomplishment. I was one of…
