What a day! We had Pharmaceutical Microbiology and our Tutor gave us each a blood serum sample (2 of which contained antibodies to simulate presence an STI) and then made us mix our samples with 2 other people. Then we used ELISA to find out who had been "infected" by the original "hosts", as well as who had been the original "carriers". I set my hair on fire (briefly) and somehow lost all my agar plates and nutrient broth cultures which I had prepared last week :/ .
Had the afternoon off so gave my mum a tour around Aberdeen (who had paid me a surprise visit yesterday to cheer me up). Turns out it was the day the continental market was visiting so we went and got some tapas, fratwurst, cannoli and dough balls. Took her to the ice arena and waited outside for an hour until the time I thought it was meant to open - but because I got my dates mixed up it turns out that today that is the time it was meant to close. My mum kept saying for the rest of the day that she has never in her life been taken to wait for the ice rink to CLOSE . We also went to the arcade at the beach, and won over 100 tickets. My mum was so excited, she thought she was going to win a TV, then we went to the prize counter and turns out all we could get for that was a rubber bouncy ball . Then went to pet store and had to talk my mum out of buying another rabbit when she already has a whole zoo at home anyways!
Easter now, so week off! And brilliant weather for it too
