Today is a long day. I went to see about my finacial aid and spoke with Juan and Lucy about what I was told. I took my room temperatures then I began to work in my mouse room. I cleaned 35 small cages and 5 large cages. I also took out my trash and vacuumed my room. After lunch I continued to clean my room. I cleaned 40 small cages and the test mice cages. I also sexed the mice and set up six new large cages. Then I sacrificed all the left over hoppers and put them in the freezer. I cleaned up and swept my room.

Today I took my room temperatures and watered the BALB/C mouse room. Then i clean the out side of the cage washer. I also helped to gather snakes so they can be medicated.
