Thursday, July 30, 2009
though i have quite a couple of journals and books to read up on. and i think my co-sup is obsessed about publishing papers. he's expecting 2 papers out from my project. haiz.. crazy or not?? where got time to write papers? and he's hoping that we can come back as phd students to finish up the rest of the project, for my case, to carry on with the more toxic ones. are u kidding me?!?!? first, i cant wait to get out of this hell-hole, and second, nus will never want me back as their postgrad student. oops, my results' too lousy. in any case, i got to work very hard now, if i dont get anything published, i dont know how am i going to face co-sup. how embarrassing, haiz.. and i still havent decide which cores to take, why is everything so overwhelming?? Tuesday, July 28, 2009 in future, prof wants all of us to meet every week for presentation. about 10 honours students, postgrads and profs. all the best to me. haiz. slacking in the lib now, i have another meeting with sup and co-sup at 2.30pm. felt that my project is kinda simple, im like following the methodology only. hopefully we can bring in some new ideas later during the discussion. Monday, July 27, 2009 presentation's taking place tml morning. slides are half-done, and most of the time, i dont know what im supposed to do. co-supervisor asks me to synthesize another thing, so im totally changing my project. and he doesnt allow me to put down the structures of the chemical that im supposed to synthesize in the slides, saying that it's confidential. i dont know how im going to describe the methodology tml. haiz. he seems nice, yet can be kinda bo chup and complacent at the same time. on a side note, i met up with my junior today, he's coming to sci too this year. havent seen him for a couple of years, and he said i still look the same. is that a good or bad thing?? haha. feeling kinda depressed now. left the lab with more questions in my head. haiz. i dont know why, but i kinda miss hsa. does it sound a bit crazy? those slacking days, nice spacious lab(i felt claustrophobic in my co-sup lab cos the lab is really small), intern friends. maybe i should have graduated, one of the nus interns who didnt do honours actually got a job at hsa. how cool is that. im like wasting my time doing honours.. haiz.. Saturday, July 25, 2009 before lunch, one of the scientific officers (together with another lab officer) threw me a stack of things to zap, and it was about 10cm thick. why do this to me on my last day?!?!? he always like to exploit me, and my poor friend who's always hang around with me got roped in as well. hahaha. obviously i couldnt finish everything and the stupid photocopying machine kept getting jammed, so i just did like half of the stack, together with my friends' help. and by 4pm, me and my friend really had to go cos we still need to give out gifts, take photos, clear out our drawer etc etc my supervisor is very nice, she got me a tee and treated me lunch. one of the head said we can always come back to do internship again, provided they need students. yeah! :D and i was told today that i actually got posted to cosmetic lab, but i went to pharm lab instead. THANK GOODNESS. pharm lab rocks!! might be back in sept to finish up the project when the samples arrive, probably for a few days. will see how things go. and im so going to miss hsa and my intern friends. will miss things like going to chinatown and police cantonment to have our lunch, slacking in the pantry, chilling out in the resource centre, taking stupid photos in the lab, doing sample preparation, running my HPLC, sorting out my huge stack of data, surfing fb sneakily when there's nothing to do in the lab, bitching about nus and our profs when we ran out of things to talk about, hehe. and the list goes on... Thursday, July 23, 2009 had filming today which was wrapped up in about 45 mins' time. went back to sch as well to meet up with supervisor and the other honours students. our supervisor is leaving nus in a few months' time and we will be supervisor-less. situation is kinda tricky yea. and he wanted us to do a presentation on tues. i am so dead. i dont even know what my project will be on specifically, cos i havent confirm it with my co-sup and im only seeing him on mon. i got to come up with a plan, lists of chemicals, instrus and consumables to be used, novelty etc all on mon. all the best to me. and last day tml! lunch with supervisor, erm she told me to have lunch with her and another lab officer. haha, and she said i can invite my friends too! dinner with the rest of the interns after work. and that's it, end of internship, til 2 months later if my supervisor wants me back. so it's back to sch on mon. :( got to lunch alone from next week onwards. sighhh, so lonely. Tuesday, July 21, 2009 time really flies, it's been 10 weeks. lots of stuff happened in btw. but otherwise it's been ok. after an agonising week, i finally gotten myself a supervisor, and im doing in my area of interest, so am really thankful about it. but will be working more with my co-supervisor instead and have met up with him twice, he seems nice, i think. haha. and im not doing my fyp in my faculty, going somewhere out of sci instead. kinda excited. but whatever it is, i hope i can survive year 4, wont hope much, cos i have already given up hope. haha. me and my lousy grades. bleah. work wise, conducted training session for the lab officers and scientific officers. on the second day, my LO took half day leave and i had to conduct the training all by myself. totally freaked me out. but it's good training ya, for presentation, which im obviously very bad at. lol. anw will be super busy til the end of the week. meeting with my supervisor tml morning for discussion, and got to start reading my journals, i have yet to start researching on my project, and i got a meeting with prof on thurs. filming on thurs too. -.- pls dont film my face, just film my hands. and fri will be my last day, unofficially. cos today, my supervisor has asked me to come back in 2 months' time to finish up my project, which by then, the samples would have arrived. i will be swarmed with fyp and tests, but i felt paiseh to reject her, so im coming back for a week or so to finish up the expt, and most importantly, i will be paid. :D Tuesday, July 07, 2009 Monday, July 06, 2009 im going to end up doing sth that i hate, or prof-less. Sunday, July 05, 2009 sigh. sigh. |
