November Blogpost

 Hey guys!

We learned about our learning styles. It was a great reminder that I can't be lazy and just relisten to lectures because I am in no way an auditory learner. I'm so excited for the semester to end and fingers crossed we all push through successfully.

This semester/year was a trainwreck and I'm so glad it's going to be over.

I got rehired at Forever 21 again and you guys should stop by. I need to sell more credit cards haha.

Overall I'm so excited to only have 1 final and an essay to do before I'm done with this semester.

October Blogpost

 Hey guys!

Hope you guys are doing well. This year is really getting hard to adjust but we will get through it!  I miss being in person in school, the lab and the smell of nasty bacteria haha. 

I have been having a really hard time this semester. Fun fact actually really, really sad fact that I did not know is not crying makes you physically sick. Learned that the hard way lol. It is important during times like this to get a support system. Not going to lie this semester has really been a learning moment for me about myself physically and mentally. I have been really trying to take care of myself and focus on what makes me happy! I have been recently trying to beautify my island of Sunnyhill in Animal Crossing New Horizons and that has been keeping me sane.

September's Post

 Hey guys! It feels great being at ASU. My first semester has been very demanding.  This is actually the first tie in my life that I need to study. I like that all my classes are online but it is a struggle to gain focus. I've been really grateful about the resources given in school. In this class reading the growth mindset had really helped me see the positive side and build myself after a struggle. My career strategy class gave us a test that is to discover our learning style and it really works. I am excited to try out the suggestions. I wish you guys luck this semester!

S4 Week 14

Hey guys!

It is the last blog post! I am really excited that the semester is ending.  just finished my Spanish and Public Speaking class. It feels so good to have to only focus on this and Physics class. I hope you guys are doing well. I just finished Never Have I Ever on Netflix. The show is so good. Watch it if you are in for a roller coaster.

I am also excited because this is my last semester at Phoenix College! I can not wait to see what awaits me in my new chapter. See you guys! Have a nice summer.

S4 Week 12

Hey guys!

Hope you guys are doing well. Honestly the last few days have been tiring. I hate being able to do nothing. I have recently just got back into dancing and working out. I feel so fit haha. Have you guys seen any good shows lately? I am currently watching Good Trouble and it is so good. I also recently got a PS4, and my sisters and I can not stop playing My Hero One Justice 2. I dare you guys to challenge me as Kaminari; he's my best character.

I made progress with my paper. It is a very rough rough draft. I can not wait for school to be done and hopefully quarantine is done by then so I can celebrate my birthday month. Wish you guys the best!

 i miss my bacteria so much rn

S4 Week 11

Hey guys!

I hope you guys are doing well. The whole situation is crazy right now. I have so many conspiracies too lol hit me up if you wanna know. But I hope your pantries are full and you have toilet paper. If you are struggling with food, there's this farmer market thing called Produce on Wheels. The website is http://www.borderlandsproducerescue.org/produce-on-wheels/. With $12 you can purchase 70 lbs of fresh produce. Hope that maybe this can help you during these times.
I have been working on my paper and classwork in the meantime. I just miss my stinky facial bacteria and I still want to see results. Miss you guys and stay safe. Hopefully you can pick up a hobby during this time. Mines is playing Animal Crossing.

S4 Week 6

Hey guys!


Hope all is well. This week I did take more facial samples from Brittany and Brenton. Thank you guys! I was annoyed this week. I just feel like time is running out and I have not been able to do much. I feel like my mind is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I had a notebook where I wrote my ideas, what I am going to next , and etc. I think I am going to start using it again. I am also not getting as much work done as I would like in two days so I think I will be coming in more days to get work done. But I will carry through :) !

S4 Week 5

Hey guys!

I wish I could have had more work done this week in the lab, but the autoclave was down and I could not make more media. I was grateful that Daisy let me use some of her plates. But I still can not wait until it gets fixed. I got face samples from Irvin who is combination. I have notice that combination bacteria grows very pretty. The bacteria grows very circular. I started putting some of the bacteria in FTM since it is a rich media but it was also tell if the bacteria likes oxygen and to what degree.

S4 Week 4

Hey guys!

Unfortunately I was not in the lab to get much work done this week because I got my wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday. It was so painful and frightening. I normally produce a lot of saliva but since my mouth was bleeding, it literally looked like I was vomiting blood. I had no control of my lips and tongue, so I could not close my mouth. I had blood pouring out of my mouth and leaking all over my shirt. But the healing process was not too bad, I got a lot of sleep. Plus I lost 14 pounds in less than a week. I should get my teeth extracted more often haha.

On to my project, I took swabs of the lovely Daisy's face who is combination on Tuesday. I am thinking of doing 2 people (1 male and 1 female) for each skin type so I do not run out of time. I am still taking donations of your lovely skin bacteria :)

S4 Week 3

Hey guys!

Thank you for those who asked if my mother is okay. She is getting much better.

This week, I was still trying to regrow my samples in FTM and blood agar. The results are very weak. Out of a set of like 10 plates, only like two grew. I think most, if not all of my samples are dead. I believe that I am wasting my time right now sadly. I am requesting that if you guys have time that I need facial samples from people with dry, combination, oily, and normal skin under the age of 30.

If you do not know your skin type, wash your face with warm water and facial cleanser. Pat your face dry and wait for about 10-30 minutes (Do not apply lotion). If your skin is peeling and ashy: you are dry. If your skin is oily in some areas and dry or decently moisturized in others: you are combination. If your skin is greasy all over: you are oily. If your face feels neither oily or dry and the moisture is distributed evenly across your face: you are normal. I am really hoping to hear from you guys. Thank you :)!

S4 Week 2

Hey guys!

This week was so hectic. Sadly I was not in the lab as much because I was busy studying for tests. I also was very sleep deprived this week since I was visiting my mother in the hospital

The plates from last week that did not grow, also did not grow this week after being put on another plate. I put them in some FTM and I am waiting to see the results. Literally out of the 6 plates in the photo, only one grew.

If some of the bacteria died, I'll be asking for more samples from you guys. Thanks in advance :)

S4 Week 1

Hey guys! Happy New Years!

It was great seeing you guys again. Hope we all have a great semester with amazing work done.
I am still resuming my current project. On Tuesday, I was plating some of my bacteria from the last semester on blood agar because it is a rich media which will definitely grow stubborn bacteria.

On Thursday, I went to look at my results and sadly some did not grow though. So I made FTM tubes which is also a rich media; this will grow the stubborn ones too. I put more of the bacteria that did not grow previously on some more blood agar plates. So I am also going to be growing the bacteria in FTM tubes too. If the previous ones that did not grow does the same in the FTM tubes, I will pronounce them as dead.
