I wanted to blog yesterday but I was feeling too lethargic from my blocked nose that I just went to bed. Anyway, I had a good time in the Biochemistry lab yesterday. For my three years in RP, and a few visits to the lab, yesterday was my first time wearing the lab coat. Mr. Koh showed us around, telling us a thing or two of things we ought to know. In case you guys didn’t know, I had to collect saliva samples of my subjects for my FYP. Yesterday, we were going to analyse the samples to get their stress level result. We had to transfer their saliva from the bottle to this very small container which I forgot the name for it. It was a tedious job to suck in the saliva using the pipette, than transfer it into the small container. Mr. Koh warned us that the saliva could smell. I’m glad I had a blocked nose, although one sample must have a really strong smell, cause I could smell it. Disgusting, I know.
I have to say I like doing lab work. Anything I can do with my hands, I enjoy it. Maybe I’ve found my calling. Okay, that was said on impulse. I don’t like analysing things though. It gives me headache. For example, lab work can be very interesting to me but the part when the results come out, and you have to give your conclusion, man… I hate that. Life science can be fun, but don’t make me do any Chemistry. Those secondary school days where you had to handle solutions and heating, God, I’m glad those days are over.
Alright, for now, I am feeling under the weather. I haven’t been well since Sunday but I ignore my body and still attend classes and Biomechanics workshop. Took medication at home but it doesn’t get any better. In the end, I gave in to my body and went to see the doctor this morning. Had an MC so I’m staying at home right now. I will be back in school tomorrow, for there are meetings to attend. Not forgetting, I have so many deadlines to meet. No time to completely chill!
