So much has happened over the past two days. Yesterday was a quiet day in the lab; I did no lab work while waiting for primers to arrive and my cell cultures to grow. However, I wrote a lot of my thesis: 2.5 pages worth! I was trying to figure out what I was missing, as I have 6 pages of background, and need 10-12. I figured it out, with help from the rest of my lab! Teamwork is great.
Today was a busy day. I isolated my plasmid containing a luminescent tag to detect travel of the protein within the cells. For my other project (where I needed to grow cell cultures), I fixed my slides with cells to determine protein modification. I added different concentrations of drug inhibitors to my cell cultures to determine if there was a difference in protein modification, and hence cell growth as the protein modification I am trying to study has a direct affect on whether or not a cell duplicates. It appears to have worked (inhibiting cell growth), but I will need to spend some time at the microscope tomorrow.
I have had such a great time in the lab for the past week. In fact, I finished my tip box today, which was very exciting. :) It is a sign that a lot of work has been accomplished so far. I can't wait to finish some more.
My roommate and I were feeling lazy today, and decided to treat ourselves to a night out! We went to Noodle Work Jr. I ordered Pad See Ew, which I have never had before. It was very good, containing a great flavor and texture. I didn't enjoy the Chinese broccoli very much, but thats okay because I enjoyed everything else! I have enough leftovers, that I think I will eat it for lunch tomorrow (or Thursday).
If you have been following my "late-night" snack, you know I really like to make popsicles. I made another Zoku pop last night! The milk and oreo popsicles are by far the best. If anybody has suggestions on other good popsicles, then please let me know!
I just came back form the market, per being on my own and still wanting to eat. I bought some of the necessary supplies, such as bread, chicken and eggs, but I am really excited to say I bought something new for breakfast: Eggo mini waffles!!!!!!! Leggo my eggo.
Off to complete an hour of GRE test prep. Have a great evening everyone :)
