pers lab

sorry to disappoint you but lab here pertains to the real lab i.e. laboratory, not the other lab (awwwww...). i'm actually here at my lab's office. i still don't have a desk so i'm squatting at somebody's desk and using the lab computer. i've been here since 9am. 9am here does'nt feel like 9am here. it feels more like 6am. the sun rises at around 800am or something (i'm not sure actually but it feels like it). so at 9am it feels like the sun just rose (which it actually did). o gosh, i'm not making any sense.

the weather here is not very good now. the weather people keep saying that the weather is great but i disagree. a day when the low is at 55deg and the high is at 85deg is not good weather. i always feel like i'm coming down with something because of the drastic changes in temperature. you leave the house wrapped in a sweater and by noon, your sweating buckets. . .

there's a kid here (obviously somebody's son) who reminds me so much of leeron. chinese kasi tapos kalbo at mapula pisngi. haaay. . .

na-sidetrack ako. anyway, i performed my first experiment today, a miniprep. well, i actually used a kit so it was pretty easy. but i had low dna yield:). but it's not my fault. the shaker didn't shake the cultures very well so i only had a few cells. yeah yeah. i also learned to pull electrodes. electrodes here are basically glass capillary with super fine tips that you use to poke embryos. the machine that makes it has a laser and you place the capillary in it and the laser heats it up and then pulls it apart. it makes this loud popping sound. i almost ducked under a table when i first heard it. but it was a fun thing to do.

i'm still running the gel for my miniprep. i better check on it.
