I’m so glad that this week has finally ended for me and I felt a sense of relieved when I reached home just now. I headed straight to bed after I changed out and I guess, in no more than 10min, I was in lala~ land already.
I don’t know why I felt so tired for this week. The week started off with having Protein lab which I think is the worst lab that I have ever attended. Not that the course work is difficult, but it is tedious with the number of repeated measurement of the absorbance for the reactions to be done. It’s a TOTAL of 30 reactions and we have to monitor the absorbance change of all reactions at 30-sec interval over a period of 3MIN. Besides, those pipettes as provided were old and this made usage difficult. My hands were all red and sore after doing those pipettings. Discussion for lab report comes next. I do appreciate the effort made by the TA to hold additional discussion in which I doubt many other TA did. But his monotonous ‘speech’ makes me want to sleep. I couldn’t make up most of the words he said and I find it really difficult to concentrate. I drifted off for a couple of times but luckily he was patient enough to explain again when I approached him personally. By the time it was back to Prof Teng’s turn to go through the review questions, I felt like dying already. Since she was not going to upload those answers, I'm left with no other choice except to concentrate and jot down as many points that she mentioned. So by the end of the whole 6hr lab, I was both mentally and physically strained. Oh.. and hungry too. (so let’s say my last meal was at 7pm on Sun, then that means that I had gone without food for 22 hrs!! WOW.. that’s like a superb way to go on a diet!!! =P )
