Victory day!

Today I got the results from my sequence samples I did (again) yesterday, and guess what: they were great! :D No, not just great, they were awesome! Fantastic! Super! Me and the other lab girls did a little victory dance to celebrate, which gave us some funny looks from the more senior lab people (come people, lighten up! science is fun!), but we rocked it anyway! Another victory came at 2 o’clock, when I passed my venipuncture exam! I was so happy, the most beautiful perfect veins past my needle that afternoon. Especially when you consider that most people who come to the clinic are over 50, and ideally you want males under 30. I nearly crapped myself when I read one of the women’s birth date (1937!), but she had the most perfect pulsating vein I had ever seen! Her blood just gushed out! Never knew blood could make me so happy. Unfortunately, my supervisor also had some bad news. Since I’ll be starting a course next Monday, and won’t be able to do lab work for another two weeks, he decided to ask my lab supervisor to finish my project. This really bummed me out, but my lab supervisor promised he would screw up some results so I wouldn’t look bad. He’s such a funny guy, I can’t wait to see what he comes up with.

With love,
