Hey guys, this is blog post 9, and the first trial with the project was a failure. The eggs were too developed (since we started opening at day 5 instead of day 3) and they reeked strongly of ammonia because the yolk was punctured in the process. Some of my classmates insisted that I change my capstone project because I was being cruel by killing the poor chicks. I already devoted so much time and effort into it, so the dissuading was the rubbing of salt to my wounds. I constantly thought to myself, it's not easy for me to just throw away two years of research. I will be buying another batch of eggs to do it at the proper time (which I probably should’ve done in the beginning). Anyways, one fourth of the senior year is already over, and half of capstone is over. Hmm... I’m basically finished with college applications and such, so I’m just stuck mostly on finding more scholarships and getting this egg project done. After that I will be working on completing my website over this semester. I feel like I’ve gotten so far with this project, so I really do hope it works this time; but even if it doesn’t work, it will still be a great experience for me in the future.
