the last time.
Today was my last day of work. It's kind of funny that after having whinning about work all this while and even to the extent of dreading it, i still find myself a wee bit reluctant to go. The thought of leaving is not at all exciting.
Today i was trying to finish up my work and also clear up some stuff and handing things over to the new student. Then this thought kept coming to me as i did my stuff: it's the last time i'll be filling pipette tips, the last time i'll be developing blots in the dark room, the last time i will be doing miniprep, the last time i will be doing maxiprep. Then i suddenly got very emotional when my colleague was telling me about how fast time flies and my four month attachment is ending today. I was tearing already so i didnt look at her as she talked , but just kept looking down, doing my experiments. Though i complain about some techniques being highly repeatitive and mundane, having the thought of me doing it for the last time, it all suddenly became all so interesting.Think i'll be missing running in and out of the dark room, and the revolving dark room door which is ever so facinating; picking colonies and "barbecuing" the glass pipettes for plating the bacteria, going to the lab supplies and washing facilities with my friends which always seem like shopping for stuff; being referred to as xiao peng you by the lab supplies aunties.I just don't want to end it all so soon.
But of course the greater part of missing work would be the people. The lab people are just really nice! they are ever so willing to teach and help, not mentioning tolerating my absent-mindedness and plain blurness. And the students too! everyone there just helps each other out and it;s just a really nice environment. :):):) oh, and my dear "sister" in the other lab whom everyone says i look like.so i'll miss them alot alot alot. :( guess i'll just drop by more often and meet them for lunch or something.
Really thank God for the chance to do this experiment. Though i kind of miss it,but i guess there's a time for everything and now is the time to do other stuff. Meanwhile, i shall slack! and bum around for while. HEE :) I'll keep them in my prayers. :)
