Friday
It's Friday, but it doesn't feel like Friday. So much work to do this weekend. Leaving to go to the big Entomological Conference a week from today. Need to practice presentations.
Also, I lost a grub this morning. I hope he turns up.
Sandy felt weird, and while I should have been home enjoying some down time I haven't done anything but stress and go a little crazy. However, one good thing came out of everything today. I decided that I am done with PCR as far as my research goes and that I am switching to ELISA (don't worry I don't expect anyone to know what I am talking about). It was hard for me to admit that I was giving up on PCR because for the last year and a half I have been trying to make this stuff work, I have put countless hours and time into it and let it get my hopes up only to let them down again. I feel that ELISA won't give me the same shenanigans, at least I hope not.
Turn the page, move on and realize that all that trying and time spend is going to get edited down into a short one or two sentences of my thesis that goes something like 'I tried PCR but it didn't work so we decided to use ELISA instead'. I think my heart hurts a little bit but hey that's science for you.
