Day 10 – Tuesday

The first day of my internship at Tukkies. Erika immediately gave me about 7 or 8 articles on the phylogenetics of Escherichia coli, the bacteria I’ll be working on. She then introduced me to Thembi – a master’s student – and threw us into the lab together. While streaking the E. coli from one agar to another, we became fast friends. She had to leave early though, leaving me to my own devices.

My throat had been bothering me so I went down to the store and bought some anti-bacterial spray for it. It taste absolutely horrible, but it works. I wasn’t in the mood to make anything for dinner so I went and ordered a mildly spicy chicken wrap from Nando’s. I made myself eat it even though my mouth was on fire. No more “mild” for me…
