Today was a
bit special, because:
1) We
didn’t have our lectures at the Faculty of medicine, but at the Institute of Technology (near our dorms).
2) We only
had 2 workshops, not classical lectures, which was quite refreshing.
The first
one was molecular biology workshop, which wasn’t that interesting for me, since
we did plasmid DNA isolation, restriction enzyme digestion and an elfo. I even
have to calculate length of the fragments after the digestion pretty often, so
I didn’t really learn anything new, I’m keeping the protocol we used for
comparison with our current one though.
During
lunch, we met the phenomenon of local baguettes. It was actually really
unforgettable, even though they were almost as tasteless as the pasta the other
day. Thank god we got a peach and chips as well.
In the
afternoon, we had a microbiology workshop. It was a lot more interesting for
me, because I haven’t taken microbiology classes yet. However, there was
approximately half an hour when I was really tired and I started to fall
asleep. That wouldn’t be neither that unusual nor that horrible, but I started
having really weird half dreams. For example, the curve of the graph in the
presentation became a snake. Or I dreamed that I was looking at the
presentation on my laptop and I wanted to turn it off, so I reached forward (to
click on the mouse) only to realize I’m waving my hands in the air.
In the
evening, we were supposed to go kayaking. I ended up looking from the shore and
chatting with other girls who decided not to join for obvious girly reasons.
Then we went for a dinner and some drinks. Seriously, the local buses are
crazy. They happily come only once in an hour, miss certain stops and so on. We
got some tortillas and chips and we wolfed them down within milliseconds. It
started raining like crazy too, so we waited until it stopped and then went to
an Irish bar (as you see, I’m really taking advantage of being in France) and
got a couple of Belgian beers (I told ya).
We went
home pretty early, because tomorrow, we’re going on the long awaited trip to Paris.
Yours truly
Vita
