Lack of a witty title

Today's the beginning of week 3. 10 more weeks of class.


For the last two weeks, I have spent my time trying to clone some DNAs in the hope of cloning proteins out of them. Things have not gone so well, of the four I started out with, three of them can safely be said to not contain the DNA I am after. The other, will be sent for sequencing tomorrow, and if successful, I will at least get to clone 1 protein. In the meantime, will have to re-try the other three.

In other news, virology classes have been really boring. I am starting to wonder if it is the lecturer, or if it is the content. Three more lectures from this lecturer, then we'll have someone else, and I'll have my answer.

Tomorrow will also be my first dissection class. We looked at prosections last week, but this week, it's time to cut. I am excited.

And if anyone's reading this, head over to this blog. It's a blog for another of my class and the entire class will be contributing to it. Your comments are very welcomed.

More exciting news, I have been offered a conditional offer for a Bonded Medical Place at University of Queensland's Graduate Medicine course. The condition being the completion of my current degree.


That's all for now.
