Week 5

Well, I have reached the halfway point of the program. My body is finally acclimated to the Beijing weather! I spent most of my week in the lab. The highlight of the week was the group dinner with my research group. We had group meeting on the same day. This was not too exciting because it was four hours of presentations in Chinese. After the meeting, my professor drove us to the restaurant for our group dinner. Everyone from our lab was there. It was a lot of fun and the food was really good. I got to pick the food that I wanted to eat and then I grilled it on a grill in the middle of the table. Overall, I think this week was great because I felt good and I felt comfortable with the progress that I made in the lab.
