Today was a pretty crazy day, if I do say so myself. in the morning, went to Building 10 for the blood drive. Getting my blood drawn took only 10 minutes, but I was away from the lab for 90. The other minutes constituted reading handouts and waiting a ridiculous amount of time just to get my blood checked (to make sure I was eligible to donate) and then again to get a needle stuck in me to drain out blood. I found out afterwards that Deborah just called for a nurse 3 times instead of one like we were supposed to. Sometimes it's not wrong to be a little annoying. Things were also a little slow because they had 2 nurses, and then had to call in someone else.
Later today we had a journal club and Jon was presenting. The paper was just completely over my head. I got through maybe the first 3 pages (out of 15) before the meeting, and I was lost. The combination of not following the discussion, the room being dark, and losing blood made me very tired. I caught myself zoning out or closing my eyes and dozing off temporarily. But even when my eyes were awake, everything just flew by me because it was too advanced. Time to do some more studying...
Today I didn't really do any lab work, and I was able to leave before 6, which has never happened before! It most likely won't happen again though because especially with my research project, there will be a lot of things to do. But even so, today, I had a lot of things to research on, so it was a easy day for lab work, but lots of things I really need to start reading up on...
