End of the semester

-

 Hey everyone :)

It's finally the end of this very long semester! I hope everyone ended the semester on a good note, or that you guy will end on a good note, if you're still working. I am currently working on two term papers that are due tomorrow. But after that, I'm free for the winter! I'm trying to stay positive and push through until the end. 

But anyway, if you guys ended on a good note or a bad one, try your best not to stress too much, if you can. This semester was crazy and I'm sure everyone of us put in our best effort that we could do. That's pretty much all one can do with crazy situations. Hopefully next semester is a little less hectic. I hope everyone has a good break, you deserve it!!

Week 14

Hello everyone! This is the last week of the semester. I'm kind of relieved, but also sad it went by so quickly. The last conference was surprisingly a lot of fun. I was really nervous starting out, but things went pretty well. I actually got to answer a bunch of questions. The first judge that went up to me was pretty intimidating but all the other ones that came up to me were really nice. They seemed interested in the project and were very attentive when I answered their questions.  There was this group of ladies -- I think they were teachers -- that stood out to me as they were really attentive and also encouraging. They probably saw that I was very nervous. All in all, this whole semester has been a great experience. Hopefully I will be back this fall. See you guys then!

Week 4

Hello everyone! This week I focused on finishing up all the gram staining for the bacteria I collected from one of the creosote bushes of PC. There are five samples: one is gram positive cocci, another is gram negative baccili, another is gram positive baccili, and the other two I think I will have to redo. One of the samples seemed to have two different colonies growing inside of it, as Josh noticed that there were some gram negative baccili and gram positive cocci mixed together. The second one that I have to redo is one that was really hard to see. Hopefully I'll get better results next week!       Also, since it rained yesterday, I went to collect another sample from the same bush. While I was taking the sample, I also recorded the CO2 levels. They seem to have decreased with the rain, I'm excited to see if the rain will also affect any of the bacteria. I'll update you guys on that next week!

What advice would you give your "freshman self" or your "first-day-at-ASU self"?

-
     The advice I would give my freshmen self would be to have applied for the STEM program earlier. I applied and began my time as an intern during my second semester of freshmen year. If I had applied earlier, I would have had more time to acquaint myself with more people and have more research time under my belt. It also would have been beneficial to start looking into research at West earlier to be prepared. I would also tell myself to stick with clubs more and try to enjoy my time at community college more. While it is great to look into the future, I also think it would have benefited me more to take a step back and appreciate my time there more.      The advice I would give to my first-day-at-ASU-self would be to get into some sort of research or other type of experience program. That was my original plan going into university, however, I think I stressed myself out between all that was going on at the time and transferring, so I thought I would need a semester off to just focu
