Week 10.5. Reconstituted all 3 drugs (unsure if they are contaminated in the process) and assay kit. Performed plating test for 24-well plate. Subcultured 5 flasks of cells. Made new culture reagents. I am behind time. Why? Because I have not been careful enough - strange things appeared in my flasks, despite the precautions I have taken since the last incidence. I must learn not to take things for granted. Biochemical C staining came out alright. That is the only good thing that came out. Organism assay need to redo certain parts. Sometimes, I hate myself for not being able to perform these simple tasks well.
On social front, I think my lab is a super close group. We got together for farewell dinner to 2 of our colleagues.We have lunch together, tea break together, breakfast together. Very, very nice. I really really want to earn my keep and prove that I can truly be one of them. Also, there is a new project that requires me to work with new people. I have seen only 1 of them (out of 4). Hopefully we can work well together and produce good results.
Note to self: It does not matter what others are doing. As long as I have done all that I can and all that is right, I am progressing. It is my progess that counts. The "enemy" is me. As long as I have surpassed myself, I would have surpassed most of the others. Real GN drive will prevail over false drives.
