I’m really sad. I feel depressed.
So many people are gone. I’m so glad Rigo and Jonathan are here to cheer me up.
I am flying to Madison, Wisconsin, tomorrow at 3 PM because I’m staying at my friend’s house until September. I am packing my stuff, but I just can’t do it. I can’t stop my tears. I tell myself I can always come back, but I know it won’t be the same. I’m going to miss everything . . . though I’m really thankful that I had the chance to have such wonderful days to remember.

Week 5, 6, and 7–just cruising along
I can’t believe I've been here for so long. I don’t want this to end at all . . . why is time passing so quickly?
I’ve been cruising along with a similar schedule each day.
Monday: MIT, class, sometimes MIT or homework for class or Tesa, then orchestra.
Tuesday: MIT (Journal Club in the morning), start writing the weekly report for class.
Wednesday: class, MIT
Thursday and Friday: MIT
Of course every day when I’m not working, I’m reading and writing for class or work, reading the new Harry Potter (!!!), exploring Harvard Square, MGH, or Boston, or just relaxing in other people’s rooms (talking, watching movies (Rent!), teaching other people how to solve the Rubik’s cube, or playing poker).
Everyone started having finals, and mine’s on Monday, August 13. Tesa’s program ends on 8/10 and she’ll be flying back to California soon. My concert is on 8/11 (yay).
Most of my friends are leaving as soon as they take their finals. Luckily Rigo and Jonathan are leaving on the 17th like me.

Today is a FACS day.
FACS (from my journal)
After 72 hours in the incubator, the cells are looked under the microscope for qualitative result by reflecting the certain wavelength to see how many cells glow. Then cells are prepared for FACS analysis by getting washed with DPBS, detached from the plate by trypsinization, and put into tubes.
72 hours after transfection, we put the transfected cells from the cell plates into microtubes to get the quantitative results from the FACS machine. It takes about 3 hours, and Tesa is going to teach me to solve the Rubik’s cube during every 3-5 min. break between changing tubes for the machine.
On Sunday, Ashley’s family is holding the annual cookout. Rigo and I are invited to stay at her house, and I’m so excited that I can’t stop thinking about it when I am working!
