Day 15

0900: Decided that I spent more time over the last two weeks either looking for RM, or waiting for him, than I actually spent on my project and the extra salmonella assignment put together. So from now on he can find me (this should be fun).

0915: No material this morning, and unfortunately the otters are all done – so it’s off to the library.

1100: Streaking plates today in the Bacteriology lab.

1230: Plates all done. This has to be the most boring job ever in the history of boring jobs. I had 21 samples - which meant 22 plates were to be done. And to make matters worse, to save plates, I'm having to streak two samples onto the one plate - extra concentration required to not go over the entral line!

I've decided that while this is an invaluable experience for me, I don't think I'll be a Bacteriologist when I graduate.
