Eternal torment: The Search

Oh god. Where do I begin...to tell a story of how...Okay, so screw that song.

Today was one of the worse days of my life. Well, not to the extend that I needed to get someone to save me but rather just made me uncomfortable.

The day started off with a series of lectures. Today's dry lecture on root systems was surprisingly quite easy to grasp compared to say stem cells? Had Chem after that. Seriously, I have a feeling, I won't be able to get a decent grade in anything but chem this semester. I just hope I'm able to somehow attain enlightenment. *snorts*

I had a splitting headache towards the end of chem lecture. Actually, it started since PAM but it wasn't a pressing pain so I just forgot about it. Bit me in my arse. The worse bit was the wild goosechase to find aspirin. And NONE of the shops I went to had one. I felt somehow better after I regurtitated for about 5 minutes? (Could be more; definately felt like crap after that)

Finished my DGA assignment part 1 but gave up on part 2. Perhaps it was a precursor to what happened next - PAM practical. No matter how exciting life science appears to be, I'm never ever gonna be swayed to be in the lab to make sections for the rest of my life. I swore, no matter how thin I cut, the piece just never made the grade. And strangely, only Poh Chuan managed to get a decent cut. Bah, humbug. Patience or magic fingers? You decide.

It was a mad scramble to finish the assignment by 6; I didn't make it. Got shooed out of the lab. But THAT was when something went horribly wrong. In my haste to store away the microscope, I actually unscrewed the head. And it bounced. I swore I could feel my the blood draining from my face. It just seemed so surreal. I was in a rather panicked state by then. The lens came off and my heart seemingly shattered into a million pieces. After all, if there was any real damage, I would have said goodbye to the rest of my life and start selling tissue papers or something to pay off such a humonguous debt.

Imagine my shock and immense relief when Lena, the oh so wonderful person that she is, managed to put it all back together. Still, that incident alone ruined my day; the icing on the cake, shall we say?

I rushed to complete the assignment and handed it in. I'm so thankful I was blessed with a rather loud voice. I would have been trapped in the office otherwise. I would like to thank Dr Hedy Goh for saving me from a potential nightmare.

And I've finally got my hand on the precious aspirin when I reached home.

I just hope i'm able to cope with tomorrow's rubbish. I mean come on, how the bloody hell can creativity be taught?!
