"Please mind your spelling. In your 1st paragraph, you typed "Joshua Benjamn Jeyaretnam", when it should be "Benjamin" with a 'i'."
First sentence of the review Desmond "God" Toh did of my biography. Ouch. This week was thought to be relaxing but no. I came back from National Day Holiday on Monday. To find out there was an IHC test on Tuesday which then happened to be "today". So I went mad and started studying, well amidst talking about Pokemon, and reviewing all the SBQ Lorms. Turned out my efforts came to naught.
a) Usefulness 5m. I took 10 minutes. 25 minutes left.
b) Reliability 7m. I took 24 minutes being so paranoid as to not believe that the answer was as simple as my initial suspicions. I'm not going to follow rigid structures anymore...
c) JDC*#E8m I did it in one minute. What do you think?
Projected IH score: 50/100 - Double AU C6
Because Geog today slapped me with a C5. Really I should have taken Literature...Leonard, you're so right. Gah, HP seems a little less daunting after Rocks crap.
Projected MSG: 3.78
What can I say? Self-study with Tan Guan Chye like the past two years?
I hate myself. Bright side, I got humiliated in Chinese class today because Tan Guan Chye printed out my horrible essay to use as a "model essay that lacks depth". Which gives more reason for Theron to laugh at me.
Today...Was just unbearably long...I had to forgo my French again...To do lab work till 6pm...Because I was the only one in my group doing lab work today when the workload was by normal standards immense. I realised Junjie asking if I was going to the lab was just a scam. Turns out he didn't come and went home. So poor me, was left to the idiot 10 ^-4 bacterial dilution for 5 samples and streaking. In case that sounds simple,
Dilution of Control sample
1) Add 1ml of bacterial broth sample to 9 ml of new broth in centrifuge tube A
2) Add 1ml of mixture in centrifuge tube A to 9ml of new broth in centrifuge tube B
3) Add 1ml of mixture in centrifuge tube B to 9ml of new broth in centrifuge tube C
4) Add 1ml of mixture in centrifuge tube C to 9ml of new broth in centrifuge tube D
Multiply that by 5 to obtain dilutions for control, 2V, 4V, 6V and 8V. Which gives you 20 retarded centrifuge tubes, 5 sterile pipettes and 5 sterile droppers.
Streaking
1) Extract 100 microlitres of each final dilution and spread it on a petri dish
This was pretty easy though I fumbled a little with the micropipette.
I'm changing my group next year...Shoot me if I don't.
