Welcome (back) to the Blog: 4 Years Later

Hi guys! Happy blogaversary. It's been a while I know, I haven't posted since February. A LOT has happened in my life since I began this blog exactly 4 years ago. I've also changed a lot as a person. So for this post, I'll be welcoming you all back to the blog, letting you know why I ghosted the blog, and welcoming myself back into posting here.  So Where'd You Go?  When I started this blog I was a freshman in high school, and I just finished my freshman year of college. And I'm graduating 2 years early next year. That should explain why I haven't been posting as much here, but if it doesn't, I have more.  I have been extraordinarily busy with a bunch of stuff inside and outside of school. Volunteering, trying to upkeep my mental and physical health, dealing with the transition of living in a new state for high school, and then living alone in a different section of the same state for college, all while essentially failing at socializing.  Definitely hav...

My Trip to Monterrey, Mexico!!!

  This month, I took a 1 week trip to Monterrey, Mexico to visit family and explore the town. It was extremely hot and I ate so many tacos and burritos that I got tired of them, and if you know me in real life, you know that that's practically impossible.  This post will mainly be pictures because 1. my mom and I took many pictures and 2. I have a terrible memory, especially when it comes to trips.  I first need to talk about my aunt's ancient dog, Nacho.  Technically, he isn't ancient, but he is. He's 15 in human years, which means he's 76 in dog years, according to  this  calculator.  The first thing we did after taking a full day of rest (which consisted of 2 long naps for me) was go to the  Tres Museos . We only got to go to 2 of the 3 museums, which kinda sucks, but we still had an amazing time.  I love this top so much I'd wear it to the grocery store.  These 2 pictures are of clothes from the colonial era of Mexico (I think)....

I DID AN INTERNSHIP AT FRED HUTCH!!!!!!!!

 Ok, I have a word limit for this so I'll just give you guys a bit of background info on what this is then I'll get into the post because this post is actually an assignment for the internship.  1.  This  is Fred Hutch  2.  This  is the internship I did  So I  have a few favorite things from this internship, ranging from the scenery to the labs. (Mostly the labs) But the thing I loved the most, were the tours. Seeing the labs and meeting people who work there and what they do is fantastic.  This is from the first tour, a picture of the view from the sky bridge. Yes, a skybridge!  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of labs when we did tours, but I did get pictures from the labs that we did.  This is from a PCR lab. PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction. It essentially makes a bunch of copies for a specific gene. Copies are made by putting DNA into a thermocycler. Changes in temperature can change the bonds of the DNA, f...
