Well I have less than a week left here before I go home for the holidays and I am still scrambling to find a project to do for next year. I've spoken with several 'higher-ups' here about prospects and think there's definitely things that could turn into a solid manuscript for me. The doc here that is in charge of the clinical microbiology has some ideas about analyzing the drug susceptibility of M tuberculosis strains over the past several years in Vitoria, so that might be it.
In other news, they have decided to move the Christmas extravaganza to next week, which means I will not be able to partake in the festivities. I still need to go buy some sort of wrapping for the gift I bought my 'secret friend' and also write a speech. It's unfortunate that I won't get to go, I've heard that it's a really good time. I'm still having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit here when I'm continually sweating like crazy under the intense heat, although there are a few houses that have put some lights up. There's also a quaint fake Christmas tree placed by the entrance to the 'Nucleo' that occasionally emits some cheer.
I have to mention something strange that happened last night. Some random guy with a gas mask was out spraying the sidewalks with some unknown chemical. Smoke filled the street and wafted into our apartment. Fearing a terrorist attack I ran to find my roommates to advise them of the threat. When they were nowhere to be found I ran outside, only to encounter the house owner lounging with her family while the smoke drifted overhead. So I guess it was nothing out of the ordinary.
Finally, there are only two days left to have the lab techs here become pros at the BioNumerics software, I've been working with them over the past week and they seem to be getting it quite quickly. Other than that things are slow and laid back around here as usual, I'm alone right now in my section of the lab. I have no idea where people sometimes disappear off to in the middle of the day. Until next time, wish me luck in the 100 degree heat!
