4.7 Fish in the lab takes many efforts to work on

Just has spent three hours cleaning the filtering system, and three of them have been cleaned, but one having a little wate leaking problem. Is considering tightening it tomorrow, because that doesn't look like a big problem, and I hope there won't be water everywhere tomorrow morning, which get the labmates angry. I just feel so tired today and need a long long relax.

Though spending three hours on it, and it will improve the water quality of the zebrafish somewhat, I still cannot be sure whether they will be happy enough to produce eggs for my experiment. But after all, their eggs won't be good if the water quality is bad, so fortunately I'm still making progress today, which should not be complaint about so much.

Patrick is leaving tomorrow. He is having a dinner with Kevin tonight, and I asked whether he mind I come; he said no problem, so what I'm doing right now is just waiting for his message to see when will the dinner happen. Since it may take a while, I'd rather do some other stuff, definitely not the lab, but maybe writing the progress report a little bit. For tomorrow, I can come back to the lab early and start the egg collection, then seeing patrick off at kowloon tong station, then going back to the lab to see whether eggs are produced. It will be another long day.

Though focusing on the fyp so much, there are for sure more things that I should catch up with. Is completely shut down by the statistics yesterday and today morning, and I almost forget how to use the SPSS to generate data and bar graph. Can do it tonight later. There are many lecture note that I haven't gone over yet, and I shall not procrastinate on it. The time to do the final is getting closer, the closer the final, the less time I will have to do all of them. And the BIOMOD. It is like a mess still, and the time for registration is about to end.

So probably it is time to forget about the fish now.
