2010 -- and I still write 09 more often than not

To fight off my recent drought in writings, I have decided to update this blog. Since it has also been 3 months since I last posted here.

The new semester has started and in fact, it is the end of the second week already. If I have not mentioned it before, I have decided to go with the Microbiology major. After 2 weeks, it seems like I should have took the Pharmacology route. Then again, things have been more interesting this week compared to the week before. So it might well be the first while being the most boring bit.

Lab classes weren't as interesting as I thought they'd be either. But we did get to play with PCR, Western Blotting and sonicators (and all the preparations in the lead up to it) with more to come. On a similar note, I did not get the undergraduate research scholarship that I previously said I applied for. However, I applied for another research project and I was offered a place in a lab researching on Mycobacterium and S. Aurues. That starts next semester and I am looking forward to it.

On a final note, GAMSAT is on next Saturday. Shoot me.
