Time Flies.
It’s been almost 8 months since I started working at my co-op. It has been a great opportunity which lead to my first published research (woohoo for me!) and also invaluable research and networking skills. That being said I am not unhappy to see it end, it was interesting and worthwhile, but I’m ready to get back to school and continue pursuing that. I know that while bioinformatics is interesting, it is not exactly where I want to end up so just need to plug away and finish my Molecular Biology and Biochemistry degree.
This week is going to be busy. I have some meetings on campus tomorrow morning, I have training Monday, Tuesday, Thursday this week, plans Wednesday night, a fundraising concert to go to after training on Thursday and I’m going to the BC Lions game on Friday night. I’m also still working right up until august 31, but thankfully I’ve finally handed in my draft for my work term report. Currently trying to figure out whether it needs to be marked here due to the technical knowledge needed to understand it, or if someone through the co-op program can mark it.
Training on Friday was uneventful, did bench press for the first time ever and I won’t post the shameful amount I was doing yet. Training is shifting getting into more deadlifting, pulls from the podium to work on my first pull because it’s SLOW way way too slow. I’ve seen my training for the next couple of weeks and it’s going to be challenging mentally. I’m working on being really focused. This week I need to do a 75kg for a double, not heavy but it’s the location of my mental block. Next week it’s 80kg clean and jerk for a single. I’m missing training Friday unfortunately because of the football game, and then the gym is closed on Monday for labour day, so I’ll have four days off, not sure how I feel about that. Then school starts again Tuesday morning, 9:30AM for me, assuming the course doesn’t get cancelled.
