...And how it begins

Hi again...I'm posting daily again, like I did when I first started this blog, which can only mean one thing: I'm seriously bored.

And tired....talk about jumping straight back into it - I didn't expect a four hour lab on the first day where you actually had to stay for the whole four hours....ok, maybe I was kind of expecting it, but I was hoping it would be one of those bludgy introductory things where you can leave after the first 45 minutes. Hehehe, dream on Viv, this is third year....

Must be going insane too....refering to myself in the third person now...

On the bright side (yes, making the effort to be positive here), I get to work with four other girls who seem pretty nice. Getting to know people better is always good. We'll be working together for the next six weeks, doing an "analytical profile" of our drug, disopyramide phosphate. I'm doing the gas chromatography part and I have no idea what I'm meant to be doing. The bad thing about being "old" is that they don't spoonfeed you anymore...got to work everything out yourself. Apparently I need to find out what temperature to set the system at, and what compound to use as the internal standard...yeah, sure, I know how to do that....

Sigh...anyway, this article is pretty good, it's the one Trees recommended in a comment for the previous post. Maybe I should try taking it's advice...
