Unknowns

So we started our unknowns in Micro lab this week. It's great, though I would get so nervous. Even though my instructor is the nicest person, it doesn't stop the heart from beating hard. She would come over and I would tell her that it was gram - rods or gram + cocci under the microscope. And then reporting to her the results of the test was also nerve racking. And I'm not the only one. I mean we know what to do, but you forget everything when it counts. And it is worth 20% of our grade.

The good part was I narrowed my gram - unknown down to two species. And I did an extra lactose fermenting test, so I should have the results next Monday. Yeah!

Food poisoning

Ugh. I can't believe it. Last week I had a cold and this week I'm throwing up. I think it's food poisoning. Complete with cold sweats, mild fever, tender abdomen and of course, the vomiting. It really does not help that I now know all about bacteria. At least it's now and not later in the semester.

Yes I thought this might be dead...

But decided to come back and start writing again.
Really had no motivation to write anything. I'm embarresed to say that I was writing my posts during Sociology class. And now all my classes usually require my full attention.
Really enjoying microbiology, especially lab. Lots of new things to learn every class. Statistics is ok. I'm glad I waited, becuase at least my classmates make taking math bearable. And then there's Hawaiian Studies. I enjoy class, except when I come out really mad at my teacher. Good class, just frustrating at times.
Well now to stay awake for a couple more hours to go to class. Coming down with cold and did not sleep last night. Ugh.
