Gosh!!! No more experiments!!!

  Sometimes I wondered, if I didn't go to my sister's convocation, I will not be so clumsy... Both chemistry and biology experiments are conducted on last week thursday, which was the day that I'm absent.

  Today, I had to rush from biology lab to chemistry lab when finished the bio experiment... Today bio experiment is about concentration and flow of water into and out of potato tissues... 1st, I need to prepare 5 different concentration of sucrose from 1 moldm-3. Teacher didn't provide us pipette filter, so I sucked the solution using my mouth!!! Yuckss, do you know how many people sucked that thing before? After that, the most difficult step, cut the potato into 15 strips which measured 0.4cm breadth and 4cm long. It's not easy to cut into 0.4cm because it is too thin and I admit that I'm scared of knife. I just cut it according to my intuition and I'm just simply measure it. I don't know why but the time seems to be playing with me because it just pass away too fast.

   When I finished cutting, I throw everything into boiling tube and did my report. After 30 minutes, I need to take out the strips and measure its final length. That potato strips were not easy to take out from the boiling tube, I used the pin but it's too short. I used forceps but still failed to get it out. Then teacher suggested me to use glass rod and it actually helped!!! A little... It's chemistry lesson and I really need to leave so I just simply drew the graph and answered the questions. Then I quickly walk to chemistry lab, which is just next to bio lab.

  Teacher was explaining the steps and I sat down to listen but it's over. So, I had to ask and refer my report. This experiment was a titration and we need to add KA1 drop by drop into conical flask. It took long time to wait the solution to turn light brown. And my hand was tired!!! After cleaning and washing apparatus, I went to copy report from others.


  Almost every week got experiments, and I'm quite hate it. It's okay to do experiment but if every week must conduct 1 experiment then I'm not okay. Plus the report must be hand in on that day... Bio exam again, this coming thursday!!! 2 chapter... Somebody please stop the time!!! I want to rest!!!
