Never a waste of time... or is it?
So... I just had a mini-meeting with my boss and well... I find it hard to be excited about my stupid little project here. There is really no application of Leptospira for the most part... especially not iron transcription factors. I try to show excitement about my B-gal assays, but seriously... whoop de do! I learned this in INTRO bio. Plus, I don't know but this whole thing, biology-wise has been dull as shit. With only 3 months, one can't really finish anything fully, and more than that... This experiment blows! Nicely, it was all contained and defined so i just did it step-by-step, and I got paid too... and had an excuse to live in Paris...
Because really, if I got anything out of this trip, it wasn't the biology. In fact, I think the biggest thing i learned is that I need a massive vaccation. I'm burning out on biology already, and simply frustrated with life in general a lot more than I used to be.
I'm also just now finding out that Hélène made another mistake on sequencing interpretation (outside of my realm of control since she doesn't let me look at the sequences) that has fucked up another section of this project. Seriously... can you understand why I'm so frustrated?
Its just going to be so good to get the hell out of here in some sense... I just want to enjoy Paris for what it is, not for what the lab creates it as. I want to go home and just be for one last summer. I realize that at some point, real life will take over and there will be no more breaks, no more summers. So damnit, I'm going to take one while I still have a chance!!
