Syposium

Tomorrow is my last day with the program...I'm kinda sad to see it go, but then again, I had lots of fun and learned a lot. The symposium was today and I did, okay I guess. Briana and I presented together (first, I might add), but I actually spoke first. My parents said that I didn't say 'um' at all, but that I seemed nervous. In reality, I was excited, nervous, anxious, and tired all at the same time. I was really stoked to use the laser pointer. My grandmother and grandfather both came, along with my godmother, Elaine (my mom, dad, and brother were there of course). I learned a lot tonight from the presentations. We also got our certificates and notebooks (I, again, was first). I cannot believe the program is really over...

Mock

Today was the mock presentation and it went okay. Except for the fact that we had to format our disc...then lost the presentation. Luckily, Briana had the e-mail of an earlier form of the presentation, so we made the necessary changes. The presentation is about 9 minutes long...not bad, huh?

Finished!

I'm so happy! Briana and I finished all the revisions that our mentors had for the powerpoint. Then we got to leave early. I can't believe that the presentation is in 2 days.

Last Monday

I cannot believe that today is the last Monday of the program. Six weeks went by so fast. I am very happy. Briana and I finished our powerpoint and one of the obligations I had been stressing about didn't exist: I thought we had to have a separate website and I had spent a lot of time on that. I didn't realize that this blogger was the website. Dumb, I know.

Last Real Day

Today was actually the last real day of the program. Next week is devoted to preparing for the symposium. Today, we had our last computer workshop and GCRC lecture series. We also got our safety goggles as well (go figure...).

Under Stress and LC/MS

Gosh! I have sooo much to do. I have to finish my powerpoint and my website (still not sure how that whole website thing is going to work out, but oh well). Today with Dr. Clarke we're doing LC/MS and microsomal incubations. The HPLC results for Cheese and I came out great, Rick and AliBabwah weren't as lucky. We have to re-do the experiment, just for their sake, but it doesn't matter because now I know I can actually do a good experiment.

As we go on...we remember...

I cannot believe that today is our last day with Dr. Harp. I might actually cry, seriously. We, uh, celebrated by doing CHEMICAL BINDING in Dr. Childers' lab, the hottest lab on campus. When we got back, we did some data interpretation with Excel and we also discussed information in the Dogwood Conference Room.
