Travel day

We finished our chemistry experiments on Saturday, so Sunday we packed everything up to leave Taichung for our last few days in Taipei!
Because we couldn't check back in to Academia Sinica until 3, we were a little more relaxed in the morning getting ready and heading to the train station. However, as our luck would have it various circumstances made us still run later than we wanted, but we still caught our train with plenty of time. This trip has convinced me that bullet train is the way to travel! All of our trips were comfortable, convenient, and quick!
When we got back and checked in, we all dropped our stuff off in our rooms and headed out to lab. We had to set up one last treatment of zebrafish embryos, this time using some of the compounds we got during our chemistry experiments in Taichung. it took us much longer than expected to set everything up, which was very frustrating. None of us had eaten since much earlier since we didn't have the chance to stop for lunch, so we were all starving and cranky!
After we got out of lab we quick ran to McDonalds for dinner since none of us had the motivation to go anywhere else or try anything new. After dinner, Courtney and I also picked up some cake for dessert. Mine was delicious! Courtney had two pieces, one which was not bad, and the other which was horrible.
It was nice to go back to Academia Sinica and just relax. Since the following day was a free day, we didn't have to worry about going to bed early so we could be off and running bright and early.
