Well, here I am again. Posting for the second time within a week. Yay! I'm doing good. I really do want to get back into the groove of this operation.Today, I went to lab to practice my presentation I will be giving in front of the Dean of the S.T.E.M. division, some Biology teachers, Genetics and Microbiology teachers and 17 students from a basic bio 100 course. Im a little nervous because my part of the speech is to talk about the background of the GAPDH gene in plants which is part of the 6th step in the 10 step process of glycolisis which is a part of turning glucose in pyruvate in cellular respiration. If you thought those were hard words to say, listen to this,
"The gene that we studied in the experiment in our lab codes for the enzyme Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase or otherwise known as GAPDH."
That is a tough thing to say for the first lines of a speech. Ugh. Then I go on to talk about how hydrogen ions are removed and oxidized and whatnot to make things called NAD+ and NADH. Yikes!!! But I wanted to get a small part in the speech so the Dean will notice me even more an aspiring scientist. I have more to the speech but I don't want to bore you with science
I talked to Dr. Host about doing a co-op study with her and this could possibly lead me to more research and another published DNA sequence with a new plant. Plus, I will be working by myself and not with another person so I can get all the lab skill practice I need. Yay! I'm so excited.
Tomorrow I have to work and it's my little brother's birthday. I wish I was able to see him... I wish I was able to talk to him but my mother insists on shunning me from the family.
Side not for Kikii: Please read my previous post. I had some stuff to say that may be important for you.
I just wish my mom would let go of her hate and actually move on and heal. But I think my mom's problem's go deeper than that... I think she may have a condition and needs treatment for it. I believe my mom is Bipolar and needs to seek medical; attention. I always felt that way ever since I was younger.... I think my mom would feel better if she was to take care of herself.
I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was good and nothing to bad happened. My good friend Ben Taylor lost his father two days after Thanksgiving due to Septicemia... I feel awful for him and I wish his family the best. If anyone could keep his family in their thoughts and prayers, that would be lovely.
Well, I am going to get going. I need to pick up my mail, and I may go to class tonight. I dunno. I'm a little tired and the weather sucks. Have a great week everyone!!!!
