Week 3

Week 3 was an eventful week. We proceeded with our projects and adapted well to the lab environment. I started on my mutagenesis where I did my first PCR (polymerase chain reaction). All my PCRs were successful. The weekdays went by quickly as we did our work. We found a new favourite spot for lunch, Tim Hortons. They served cheap and filling sandwiches and not to mention delicious doughnuts and specialty drinks.

On Wednesday, Fairview Crescent organised a movie night. We watched Zootopia and enjoyed ice-creams and snacks.



On Saturday, we joined a one-day trip to Victoria in Vancouver Island. We took a ferry to the island. The ride was fantastic and we got to enjoy scenic views throughout the 90 minute journey. We went Downtown and to the Butchart Gardens.

On Sunday, we went to White Rock and took a long walk by the beach. It was a very relaxing day and we had a heavenly plate of fish and chips for dinner and not to forget gelato.
