First Semesters Almost Done

By -
About a week more until I reach only having one more month left to finish up my first semester at ASU. It’s crazy how time flies especially this college year around. I feel like time flew faster at ASU than my two years at Phoenix College. I also feel like I’ve had less relaxation time at ASU than my time at P.C. My first semester at ASU so far has been kind of drowning because this is the time where I feel like I have to start planning my career path and looking into what medical schools and licensing careers I want to try and get into. This semester has been a lot of just trying to keep up with all the homework assignment and exams and quizzes that some professors will throw at the students as a surprise. I have definitely made new friends who in my calculus class have helped me a lot and always make class a little more tolerable. I do miss a couple of things from P.C like my past professors and especially Dr. Cotter who made class always a delight to come to. I am still currently working as a volunteer in Dr. Polidoro lab. Her lab consist working with clams and examine if their was any microplastic contamination as or chemical contamination. So far this lab has been the best experience. Everyone from the lab is extremely nice and will teach you something new everyday, any questions you have they have no problem taking the time and helping you explain something or simply showing you how a protocol is properly suppose to be done. My goal for next semester would be to try to get more involved in school activities and clubs of some sort. Also take advantage of the free stuff that being an ASU student provides. I want to open up my schedule next semester more also to take more classes and also work more hours in Dr. Polidoro’s lab.

    It definetly seems like you have your hands full. I've been feeling quite bogged down by homework and study myself this semester. Luckily, I haven't had any surprise tests though. I think it's amazing that you're working in Dr. Polidoro's lab. I was hoping to sit down with her because I wanted to do research in her lab next fall semester when I transfer. I would love to hear more about the research you're doing there. Take care!

This week in Lab the only plastic I am waiting to weigh is SPI6. The reason this one is taking longer is because when I rinsed it with DI water it soaked some of the water up which meant I had to leave it in longer to dry out than the other plastics. Then when it was completely done drying I put the hydrogen peroxide to get rid of any nature products that could have been left behind. Right now they are still drying, until they are completely dry is when I will then be weighing it and that will conclude my last sample for weighing. After that I will finally have all data to analyze. I will be determining which extraction method/ water solution works best on microplastics. I will also be determining plastic loss in all three different solutions and see if there was a was to better change the protocol that the NOAA developed for extraction of microplastics from sediments.

So the picture above shows the location of where I got the sample water though, though I regret not getting the coordinates of the exact location I took the water sample from because Tempe Town Lake is pretty big. This weekend while also this weekend I went to Tempe Town Lake again but the only difference was that there were a lot of dead fish just floating around and some even on shore. Which got me thinking if we might something new in the microplastic bacteria growth. There was also a report during 2014 where there was an extreme growth of E. Coli in Tempe Town Lake Water. “ Tempe has received water samples from Town Lake taken Thursday morning that show E. coli bacteria more than 10 times higher than the state's allowable” (Tempe Town Lake 'unsafe' water sample threatens race). I missed another great opportunity and forgot to take pictures of the dead fish. So perhaps maybe this week I will go again and take pictures.

“It's not what you achieve, it's what you overcome. That's what defines your career." —Carlton Fisk Growing up in a strict Hispanic Household my siblings and I were always told that we needed to become doctors when we grew up. That if we were doctors we would have a stable bright future. So of course in High School I would tell everyone that I would grow up to be a Doctor. I didn’t know what kind of doctor, I just knew I was going to be a doctor. Once I graduated High School and enrolled at Phoenix College, I told my advisor, “I want to be on the path that will make me a doctor”. So for 2 years I was taking all my pre-requisites to be a doctor. It wasn’t until my second year at Phoenix College and almost close to graduation that I wanted to be an ophthalmologist. So I looked online and started studying for my Optometry Entrance Exam (OAT). During that Summer 2019 of pure studying I also worked with Dr. Polidoro in her environmental/ Toxicology ...
