Day 39

0900: Definitely have Salmonella, albeit stupid Salmonella that doesn’t realise it’s supposed to turn TSI agar black and not yellow. Ran the agglutination tests and proved it’s the same Group as the rest of the stuff I’ve isolated. Entered the results onto the computer and ran!

Going to need to spend the rest of the day working to get more of my report written. The results and discussion are taking forever; thinking of things to write is getting harder and harder, and was never really a strong point of mine in the first place.

My motivation for getting it finished tonight is that then tomorrow I’ll be free and be able to spend all day in the PM room – I’ve been missing my daily dose of butchering over the last week!

0100: Got to keep working!

0400: Got the CG-diagrams done and pictures cut, resized and inserted in the correct places. Now just have to pull the Discussion section together.

0500: Finally! I have a complete draft of the report, so relieved. Now to try and get some sleep…
