This week in its entirety consisted of research without end. There was so much information about Glioblastoma Multiforme being crammed into my brain that I can no longer retain new information. Kudos to my mother, who has a Masters in Biology, and the Internet.
On Monday, I had my computer ready and available. Although I am still restricted from any access to the network, my handy hotspot on my phone allowed me to accomplish all kinds of research. I found several more articles pertaining to the subject (mostly reiterating the failure of RT and traditional therapies), that I will definitely implement into the paper. Failures are one step closer to success, and are worth noting somewhere along the way.
Wednesday was no different: same computer, same research. I learned, however, that it is incredibly difficult to get good work done under classroom-like conditions. With the distractions of others talking across the classroom, the screens of my friends on both sides, and Mr. Quick constantly judging my every action, it was hard to accomplish anything. It's easier to look aimlessly around the room or search something irrelevant online.
On Friday, we were all basically done. The last few finishing touches needed to go into the paper before it was turned in, which obviously could not have been accomplished during the class. My lack of ability made that night a very long one.
