It's a new week!

Good morning! So, luckily, I woke up this morning, and the sun was shining just for me! I was ecstatic! As I look out the window in the lab at the gray sky, it helps to know that the sun tried, at least.

Anyway, its the beginning of a new week! New challenges, things to discover, and projects to finish! You may ask why I seem so happy? Well, this week, I sincerely hope is going move faster than the last one. Anne is back, and now we can once again work on trying to make the two colonies of bacteria that will help me perform the growth competition. Hopefully, we recieve the oligonucleotide sequences, and we can work right away to attach them to the plasmids and finally transfer the Strawberry genomes to the correct plasmid! Then, we would do a cople test just to determine whether it worked, the moment of truth, and then we can play with one or two of the replicating factors in the plasmid, let them grow, and see what happens! Gripping stuff!
This week, I am really gonna try to finish character development and begin storyboarding. That's my goal. As long as I don't get distracted, which is really easy to do here, it shouldn't be a trial.
Yesterday, I visited the Bois de Boulogne, a very large park that is pretty much a mini forest in the middle of Paris. Really cool, and it was even cooler because I spent time with my aunt, her boyfriend, and my little cousin! Apart form the large roads that run through it and the big parking lots, the forest is beautiful, and it was quite nice to get back into nature again. I don't think that the air was specifically any cleaner than in Paris, but it was nice to be around some plants finally. That's one of the things I miss about Tucson. The air quality in Paris is rather deplorable.
I guess we'll see how my week turns out! Posting soon,
