Well, I have started my English blog, which also means I might not have time to keep my own Chinese diary. Since my diary has been full of "Liushuizhang", which contains more routine work and objective facts but less personal feeling, I'm still struggling on whether stick to the old style or not. Definitely, starting an English blog will benefit me on language learning, especially when my GRE AW is coming soon. What is also apparent, it will be quite tough to express myself effectively, either for a short or long time period.
I decide to call today "a lab day"--I was working in the lab from 8 am. to 9 pm. After a relax yesterday, I felt pretty energetic this morning. Having dealed with the product I left yesterday and set up a substrate making reaction, I ran a Grignard reaction with the help of Jon. Well, pushing a 60 mL syringe was such a energy and time consuming work almost like physical training. I also went to Prof. Sension's lecture about laser in dynamic chemistry reseach, but it was a pity that Jon's presentation at the organimetallic seminar was at the same time so that I missed it. Matt and Goergia were back from vacation, and the lab begined to be filled with laughter as soon as Matt came back.
I feel more and more difficult to keep up with my GRE learning plan... plus there will be poster session soon... well, although I've done about 20 or 30 palladium reactions, still haven't got ant satisfying result yet, the substrates keep decomposing. But that is research. And so is the life itself, isn't it?
I miss you, J.
