During the 2 days, I was searching in GenBank for the genes I need. Nevertheless, when I input the key word “antifungal peptide,” GenBank gave me hundreds of matched results! Which I need are that produced by rape and radish and similar ones else. I can sure there is must some advanced search tool in GenBank, but I could not found it. I even got mad at the so much results for I was puzzled with how could I find out my need ones. Then I little regretted because I did not work hard on my Bioinformatics. Oh, dear! To hell with the endless search! I gave up my GenBank work. Then, maybe it was a gift from God, I found out some specific antimicrobial peptide databases! One of them, ANTIMIC, is very splendid! It is easy to search, and another, every search item has a link to GenBank or other database. It made me delighted.
Maybe there is something wrong of our college internet workgroup; maybe there are too much person are using the internet; maybe my laptop is so old that it can not still work quickly (well, of course, that is impossible. My laptop is all right though it produced in 2002). In all, the speed of my online working made me sick!

This term I have not so much class, so I decided that I ought to improve my English level from every aspect. Now I am doing listing and basic grammar.
In every morning, I do a piece of 9 minutes or so listing, one piece a day, and today is the nineteenth day. I listen and write what I listened down – the whole process often takes me about one and half hour. In the noon, I back to my dormitory, power up my laptop, check my written-down with the script. Sometimes I can get a good work, and sometimes it is terrible. Some words I did wrong but I indeed know it. I cannot identify them because of my Kana-like pronunciation (laugh); the English pronunciation style, such as “a,” “that” etc, are always diluted in a long sentence, also makes me fail to do well. Every time when I finished my listening, my right hand is so tired that even collapsed. Will, I indeed write too much, only by my single right hand, for my left hand cannot write smoothly.
In the afternoon, I take one or more hours to study grammar – that is also a work include much of note writing. So once again, my right hand turns to collapse.

Work in front of screen, write down what I listened, note each important item, and soon I will go into my lab (when I have found out all my needed gene sequences and designed out their matched primers). That is my latest day routine, not so colorful but should be fruitful.
