laboratory

hello everyone, good evening!!!

i know it has been so long since i last updated here, but school has been kind of busy, and honestly i have very little energy by the end of a day full of classes and schoolwork. and on my lighter days, i think i just get lazy.. so i'm sorry about that lol.

but anyways, my day went pretty well! tuesdays are my lab days, and today i had both microbio and organic chem lab. it was lots of work.

in micro, we swabbed for our normal flora, which is like certain types of bacteria we all have in our bodies that do not cause disease. so... i had to swab the palm of my hand, my throat, and my nose... those last two were not enjoyable. and then we had to do plate streaking. you know how scientists grow bacteria cultures in a petri dish? yeah, we're doing that. i don't even know if i swabbed myself properly but oh well.

then, i had organic chemistry lab this afternoon, and i was in there for about three hours. we were like separating acids and bases. it was kinda fun ig, but i still don't like chemistry..

honestly, working in a lab is so overwhelming to me. there's just too much to think about! you have to be precise with measurements, there's so many dangerous chemicals, labwear is overstimulating to wear after a while, and i just have never liked it lol.

before i got online, i was working on a report for bible class. i'm sooo not wanting to do it but unfortunately it's due tomorrow so i gotta lock in.

ALSO!!! i realized yesterday that i only have like three weeks of school left before winter break. like that's insane!!! i'm so excited tho, i hope i can finish the semester strong. i'm lowkey worried abt how i will do in ochem tho..  (ó﹏ò。)

hopefully i have more free time tomorrow, because i'm thinking about going home for a little while. but what have you been up to?

hiii nara!! wow, your labs sound intense.... :0 i don’t blame you for feeling overwhelmed; microbio swabbing your throat and nose? no thank you, lol. and three hours in organic chem doing separations… i feel exhausted just imagining it. i get what you mean about precision and all the safety stuff; labs really do make your brain feel like it’s juggling a million things at once.

but only three weeks left before winter break?!?! that’s wild!! i hope you can finish strong too, and fingers crossed for ochem (>﹏<) !! hopefully you get a little breather when you go home, even just to recharge. i’ve been just chilling mostly, doing some cleaning and blogging, but hearing about your lab adventures makes me realize how much effort you’re putting in every day. hang in there, you got this!!!!!!!!

ok so it’s not letting me reply from my google acc.. smh.

they can be intense sometimes! well, at least to me lol. going to lab always makes me so nervous, but i’m glad i have both labs on tuesday so i can get them over with early on in the week.

yes only about three or so weeks left!!! i’m gonna try my best on my all my exams, but especially ochem.

aah i can’t wait to fully relax~

hi eugeneeee :3 it was a bit tiring, and i could definitely use more rest lol. (that's super admirable, chem is quite difficult for me to wrap my head around (even more so in labs), so kudos to u!!! also omg ur right. we have to wear goggles and they give me raccoon circles around my eyes every time.)

aww i'm sure ur doing just fine! i hope u don't stress urself out with schoolwork, and always make sure to give urself rest when u need it.

thank uuuu so very much!!!!! <3
