YES
My cells grew. I pulsed. I incubated. I sup'd. I ELISA'd. Success!
First week, I accidentally washed them out of the wells. Second week, they were crapping out and dying. Third week (this week!), was finally able to grow them and do stuff with them.
And man, they were spitting out that IL6.
I am pleased, my cells. I am pleased.
Too bad that I won't be at the lab meeting to present my data. D: And I know that a QPCR is waiting for me when I come back.
(And microbio lab went well too. It was an ok, chill lab but my favorite's still ochem lab.)

In other news, going to the fourth summer wedding tomorrow. Not saying that I'm just tallying weddings. I'm truly, truly grateful that I was invited and that I get to see a God honoring ceremony. :) And these are all people very dear to me. I'm especially excited for tomorrow's wedding! I've never been so happy for a couple to get married before.
Also going to be driving home on Monday with a car that has the front break pads at 6mm/2mm (when the minimum should be 5mm... haha). I had to sign a waiver at the shop that I know I am driving an unsafe car (and thus, if the breaks go out and I die and stuff, it's not the shop's fault). Yay! 500 mile drive while knowing that my breaks are 3mm below what's considered safe! :D
Yuri-chan is flying in on Wednesday. YESYESYESYES. She's never been to the States before so it's my job to show her the treasures of San Francisco and to send her off!
Mmmm. Ok. That's all. I get to sleep in tomorrow. Yesssssss.
Bye! :D (I'll probably disappear for another month >_>;;)
