Day 1

Day 1 of the spring semester is finished!  It went just fine. We had an hour of pretty basic information regarding the course, then an hour of an intro to bacteriology and mycology (mycology is the study of fungi).  We ended with two hours of virology (the study of viruses) lecture.  This afternoon we had bacteriology lab where we did gram stains and plated tissues and fluid. Tomorrow I have one hour of learning the structure of bacteria, then have my first hour of parasitology lecture, and then get to spend two straight hours learning about intestinal bacteria. Aren't you jealous?!

Interesting fact from today's virology lecture: approximately 8% of your DNA is actually made up of DNA from viruses.
