The morning started on an early note because I was awake at 2 AM preparing to go to the field to collect swab samples for the Pneumococcal survey ongoing at my workplace. We got to the lab around 2:30 AM and started to prepare the things we will take to the field. Within 15 minutes we were done at the lab and everything was ready for us to go.

I called the organizer of the project and he dedicated a driver to come and pick us up. Within the next 3 minutes, the driver arrived and we jumped into the car and led to the field. It took us about 30 minutes to get to our destination with the name Nakolo. Fortunately for us few of the participants we present upon our arrival.

We quickly set up the table and began to take the swab samples. It took us about 30 minutes to clear all those we met there. We were then left with 13 different participants who for whatever reason are in the house. The field supervisor has to trace them to their homes. After she did that, 10 of them showed up, and the rest decided not to come.

We had no option but to go and leave them. Fortunately for us, immediately we were about to leave, two of them came and we had to give them the option to swab them. We did that and we were now left with the last person. We went without taking the sample for that particular individual.

We reported to the lab and we documented everything we were doing. We took our time to ensure that, everything was on the right part. We cross-checked the sample with the set that came with the samples. After noticing that everything is fine, I then left the house to go and rest. I just rest for a few hours and the calls that were coming from the workplace were too much. I have to cut my sleep shop and get to the workplace.

I got back to the workplace and we were about to start work from my side. Because they were waiting for me in other to get some great information on the fact that I kept some of the things in the freezer. When I did bring them out. We worked on them and we were able to get all things done. After that, I went to bacteriology where a lot of things were ongoing.

I had to get myself together in other to help them finish the work at hand. I brought the things I needed and began to help them. It was very great to have gotten that opportunity. Together, we worked on every other thing in the lab. Some were doing DNA extraction while others were doing plating and others are also doing media preparation. It took us several hours to finish our work.

When we finish all that we were doing, we had to clean up the whole place to make things work normally. We packed the media we prepared in the fridge. And kept other things where they are supposed to be. We then went to our various houses to rest.
