fairy tales

| | Comments (3)


Finally its Friday... 
For three days nights I've been stuck inside the lab doing my experiment ...

Well... not really night ... say... it begins at 1pm and worked all the way till 8pm....prof made us go home early probably because he didn't want us to suffer any longer maybe?



its basically an experiment to find out the amount of fiber, protein and moisture inside a patch of grass and it is seriously and i ain't joking .... considerably little work but requires a lot of patience.

We spent more time waiting than actually doing anything else...

Waited for the machine to finish grinding our samples;
waited for everyone else to finish because there were only 3 grinders and there are 15 of us... 5 hrs

waited for the cans to dry in the oven ... three times 2 hours each time
waited for the cans to cool down inside the vacuum flask whatever you call that in English... 30mins twice
waited for our substance to pass through the filter papers... 4hrs
waited for many many many other things ....


more drying and cooling and boiling and evaporating coming soon....


So while waiting, what do we do? ... 
We did our homework and other reports ... a few of them lined the stools and slept...

waiting for the substance to get through the filter paper... and we had to scrape the beaker till there is nothing left inside ... 

waiting for the stuffs to boil in (simple said) soap water ...

while waiting, we did many other stuffs like playing with the pigs and goats ...


Why is this entry called fairy tale?...
There were 3 pigs and my friend started telling us a tale about the 3 little pigs...

Then there were 3 goats ... and came the story about the 3 goats crossing the bridge...




that's all ... (for now) 
and this is just one third of the whole experiment...





only today i realized that i've not updated on what happened on my birthday, my global food delivery and many other stuffs ... gotta sleep now..bye
