Yay, schedule's all figured out!!!
Well, just finished my Test #2 in Geography, it was pretty easy, and it took like 15 minutes :) Also, I ran a gel for the first time by myself yesterday, I'm so proud. I cast the gel, refridgerated it, loaded the ladder, and dyed and loaded the DNA samples. Then I hooked it up and ran it for about 40 mins. Today, I'm going to finish up running it and then try to take a pic n see if anything turned up!!! :) yay

Work in the Genetics Lab, but I can skip if I'm going home for weekend
So, that's that. Today was my first day volunteering,and I spent about 1 1/2 hours filing and shredding stuff, but I got to spend the last 1 1/2 hours on a case, watching a catheterization. It was so cool. When they hit the artery to put the catheter in, you could see the blood arc across the room!! I'm so excited, the volunteer cordinator told me it would be boring, but I really like it. Although if I pick up an extra shift, I might try to do the ER or something else.
Also, I got all the paperwork done for the Genetics lab. I get $8.50 an hour and can work up to 20 hours a week, although I told Paul I was looking to do 8-12 hours.
Plus I really love the Organic lab. It's so cool, we actually synthesize compounds and stuff...and we learn all these cool techniques. Like yesterday, I earned how to make a vacuum with a few hoses and flasks to pull all the supernatant liquid out of my filter for my reflux reaction. SO COOL!!!
Okay, that's it. Back to work...:(
