October 25 – Third Entry

This has definitely been a hard month due to literally a “series of unfortunate events”. Apparently some students from the laboratory above us left for the weekend and forgot to close their lab sink. Hence, their lab got flooded and subsequently ours along with other major consequences. Unfortunately, the damage our lab suffered was greater than we thought. I am not going to focus on the details, but I would like to make clear that our lab isn’t functional. As one would have expected most of the experiments got ruined, including ours.

Naturally, our research progress has been ZERO thanks to this little incident. At the present moment, our mentor is doing every thing humanly possible to get us a new lab so we can continue with our work. On the meantime he told us to start working on the written final paper due on November. As matter of fact, I took the initiative of searching and analyzing scientific literature, before all this occurred. Aside from this all I am do is trust on my mentor’s success on finding us a new lab soon so we can start all over again (as much as I hate saying it).
