Posters

It's Wednesday already, and I haven't finished my paper for my seminar class yet. The days are moving so fast nowadays. Yesterday, we had our poster presentation for the same class, and I did not know if I have done well. Two of my classmates had their posters as tarpaulin, mine was on an illustration board. How was that? Although my design looks nice, I just feel that I have not given my full effort on this project. Zoe and I were sick last week, and I was not able to work on this assignment during those days. Oh well, it is okay, at least I have submitted a poster.

The infection my baby got from eating ice cream

My baby got sore tonsils last week. I got sick, too, due to lack of enough sleep and stressful school work. Days before she had fever, I brought home some ice cream and ice candies…knowing that she’s expecting some. What I didn’t see coming is this attack on her tonsils. Because she’s not used to cold foods and drinks, once she eats ice cream or the like, she’ll get sick after a day or two. I thought she had outgrown that part, but I was wrong, she has not.

What I learned from this experience is that I should take it slow in letting her eat ice cream and other enjoyable cold treats. Since I’m not giving her such foods before, her system is not used to eating them, and she needs a gradual introduction of them into her body. Noted!

Yesterday, we went to her pediatrician for a check up. Since she doesn’t have fever anymore, only a cough with phlegm, the doctor just gave her Ventolin Expectorant to remove the phlegm. I wish the medicine would take effect right away, so she won’t suffer coughing anymore. It’s disturbing her peaceful sleep.

Today is another Monday, start of a week of work. I just hope everything will go well this week. The Finals week is coming, and this week will be our last meeting for both of my classes. What a fast-paced university life!

Whew! What a week!

My whole week has been so tiring and full of complications. My research on biodiesel is draining my energy. I feel so pressured, especially now that the deadline for the results is near. I just want this research work to be over.

It's Saturday morning, yey! It's time to spend some quality time with my family, my favorite part.

By the way, here's my favorite picture for this week:



Awesome job, Sir Mike!

A long list of things to do

I had my second exam in Inorganic Chemistry today, it was really long!

Today's a very busy day. I called up so many people and went to so many places. I am so tired...

Also today, I just got this news from my thesis adviser that she's going to Australia on April and she'll go back next year. Oh no! I need to finish my research before the term ends! If not, I'll be left hanging on the air, and I don't want that. There's another thing that I'm worried about... I signed up for the Chemistry Congress on April, because my adviser wants me to. I registered today, but I wasn't able to pass the required extended abstract, because I don't have the results yet:( I just hope the technical team of the Chem Congress will give me an extension.

I want to sleep already, it's 12:24 a.m., but just by looking at my long list of things to do, I know sleeping is not a good idea.
