Very Busy Week......

This is week is crazy.. I'm going crazy.. The work load is crazy.. hehe.. :p

Well, at least all my term tests are scattered equally, three last week and three this week. The only difference is that last week I was still fresh and up for late-night studying. This week I'm tired due to lack of sleep last week and on the weekend. Also the valentine's day and its hangovers is not helping at all!

The chemistry department at my school always cancel their lab period the week of their midterms. I wonder why the biology profs refused to do that. It would have helped so much since the weekly lab reports and lab drawings, plus lab assignments and quizzes take a lot of time. Imagine I have to deal with those everyweek, and now plus the exams. I am totally behind for 2 weeks. I guess I'll have to use my reading week to actually "read." (-_-")

In physiology, we were doing clinical blood tests like what your physicians do in a normal medical check-up. We were assigned a partner and also an experiment. Since my partner and I are concurrently taking histology, we refused to do white blood cells differential because we have done it so many times. So I picked red blood cells count because I thought it is kind of cool and I have never done it. The gross thing is that, you actually had to suck the blood into the testing tube with your mouth!! So after the gross part was done, we were to dilute the blood in the tube then put a drop on the haematocytometer slide and count the blood cells with the aid of a microscope. My partner was being so selfish that she wouldn't let me try to find the spot where we put the drop of diluted blood. I was fine with it until she kept on saying "I can't find it.. I can't find it." So I told her, "Don't worry I'll find it for you." I'm pretty good with using the microscope and I was sure I would be able to find the tiny spot. However she wouldn't hand me the microscope, so I thought it's okay I will just wait until she is satisfied with it. So she kept on adjusting and adjusting the stage (where we put the slide) up and down trying to focus the image. What happened is that she was turning the knob too fast that the stage actually hit the objective lens and the specialized cover slip broke. Unbelievably, she refused to tell the lab instructor that she broke the cover slip and told me to do it instead. It drove me nuts because I could've helped her find the spot without breaking it only if she would've let me, and now I had to tell the instructor that "we" broke the cover slip? If I were her, I would not use the word "we" because I know I was being selfish and I was to take any blame or charge for it. But God was so nice that my instructor said that we didn't have to pay for anything and to just throw it in the broken glass container.

Anyway, that is pretty much the interesting thing that happen in the day. Other than that I wrote my music appreciation midterm just two hours ago. The format was very unexpected and the exam was rather hard for an elective course. However I think I managed to do pretty well on it, plus the 2 bonus marks for staying for another 1.5 hours of lecture after the exam. :)

Happy belated valentine's day to most of you that I haven't had the chance to say it. I hope you had a good and sweet one.

God bless!
