Lost.....................

Yesterday went home at 1 plus am. I started my experiment at 10am w/o rest but still end up at 1plus am. Luckily the fyp student i am working with has a car and of coz i would give him a treat when i have the chance. haha coz it is not on his way back home; he lives in tampines. But i know that this would be the last time because I would feel guilty. Once is enough already! yah. How i wished then that my flat is just near school and i can just walk to my flat and sleep...zzzzz.

Today i messaged my friend again to ask when i can meet up with the landlady. Yeash. she said tuesday. It is very tiring to sleep so late at night and wake up early the next day; lack of sleep.
Back to my research. I couldnt get good result :( and also during the group meeting, The other 1st year and me were asked by prof to meet him to discuss about our thesis project. I do not have time to think about my project because i was busily carrying out the experiment and planning each experiment to make sure it progresses smoothly and everyday has experiments to do. Each day i would update what would i be doing on that day and the subsequent day. The advisors were my korean senior and postdoc. i was thrown to be in charge of this task called single site mutagenesis. And if i should encounter any weird result, i can ask for their advices. Otherwise, I would be in charge of planning and performing the protocol. Sometimes I would give suggestions to improve the results but i just feel that i take a longer time to find some suggestions and is not as deep in thoughts as those given by postdoc and korean senior. I need to read up more i guess and to accumulate more experiences.

So, i planned to come to school on sunday afternoon till night to work on experiment and to carry out some preparations for the next day experiments (heard that not only me is going back to lab on sunday). I realise that it is impossible to say "ok, today i do expt" because there is a need for preparations and all these need planning. Monday, i dont have class so i can spare some time extra to do more experiment. But, regarding the coursework, i have not touched anything on it yet. I just hope I can catch up last minute.

I really hope that i can get good results next week....
