- Day 2 of Busy Week -

Hopeless. The only word to describe today. Started doing some experiments all by myself in the hood today. The moment I open the package to use the pipette I was given the X sign. Mentor:"What did you do just now? The pipette tip touched the tube right? It's contaminated, now throw that away." Sighz. What was worst when she said:" You didn't pour away the chemicals in the wells first?!?!?!?". Actually, I did thought so, but since she didn't instruct me to do anything, I just added in the next set of chemicals. Think I'm too reliant on instructions and people spoon feeding me. Think my brain is quite dead and can only think straight, cannot be flexible enough to think during the experiments itself. Calculations were another thing, I had to think on the spot, how much concentration to use, how much volume, how to dilute, how many cells there are in each ml. I even thought 10⁵ was 10,000. Please make it a better day tomorrow! I think I need to redo this set of experiments. Even had problems trying to unload 1microlitre of reagent from the pipette. Well, as I kept thinking along the way during my experiment, I took up tons of time and finished it an hour later than expected. Mentor:"Next time when you're doing cell cultures, try to do it faster, should finish everything within an hour for that experiment just now". =.=

By the way, happy monthiversary. Haha. Let's celebrate 3 monthsiversary when you get back! LOL. :P
