02-08-07: PhD project, contamination, football

One good news arrived, Philip Woodman generally agreed my PhD application. However, he requires me to improve my academic writing, oops, I am trying... Also, there is no finacial assistance, 6500 per year is not easy - though easier than 12000 per year for neuroscience. I will talk to Alan Dickson tomorrow, and see whether I can get any fund or not.

My labmates assures that our cells are contaminated by mycroplasma. I thought of this several weeks ago, whatever, we didn't take it seriously. This contamination ruined all my work, my report is empty now... I have to find a way to solve this problem.

The football game today is a disaster, I hurt my toe, and have no goal at all! Shait!

29-07-07: Faculty BBQ, Report, house renting

It was a long time since my last post, wasn't it?
The report is borthering me all the time, I cannot wait to finish it. I have written around 9,000 words, and is deleting the content to make it suit. No PhD project established yet, I may do this after I have done the report.

Firday, 27-07, we had faculty BBQ in the squard localised at the centre of our building. It is nice, everyone is full. Though it began to rain at ~1500, it did not break the celebrate. We had a nice DJ playing pop in the cafe lounge. I didn't go pub afterwards, but some people do. Christ drank 10 bottles of bear in that night, ha, achohol gene!

Checked a few houses for rent, Plymouth Village is not a bad place to live. I hope we can sign the contract as soon as possible. I missed a view for Melrose Apartment, as I was 10 mins late. Whatever, I will reschedule the time.

Hope you guys have a nice holiday.
