Much better...
Mood:
 a-ok
Now Playing: Evening news
Things are much much better since my last post. We had a bit of a chat about our frustrations in the lab & we've got an understanding now between us, so I think things are going to get better in the lab (for a little while, at least).
As for the study, this has been the longest past few days of my life! On Monday, I spent 13 hrs at school, with about 10 of that spent in the lab! Yesterday was a little better -- I got out of there at about 7pm. Today went even faster, & I got out of the lab around 6pm. I'm hoping that this trend will continue. The younger rats, especially, seem to be catching on to the whole "push the levers for reinforcement" concept, so we don't have to spend too much time shaping them in the box. The older rats are a bit more difficult, but they're making progress. A very good point was brought up in the lab today -- the old rats have been sitting around so long that they aren't used to moving around as much as our task requires. I kinda feel bad for the rats, though, especially the experimental group. We're doing a drug study, so they're receiving daily injections -- the experimental group is getting atropine while the control group is just getting saline. Atropine, though, hurts like hell, so I don't blame them for freaking out whenever I pick them up.
Well, I'm going to take advantage of my early evening and relax a bit.
Till next time...

So frustrated...
Mood:
 irritated
Now Playing: Emeril Live
I wish I could be happy in my lab. Actually, I think I could be if it weren't for one reason, & most of you know what that reason is. For some reason, she can't find anything nice or positive to say when it comes to lab stuff. She always has to be negative & pessimistic about EVERYTHING, & she has to criticize EVERYTHING. And the sigh... let's not forget the "everything in the world is wrong" sigh. I hate the sigh most of all, & it just clicks me into my curt, don't-want-to-be-here-anymore mood. I'm just sick of it all. I'm sick of being stuck working w/ her. I can't wait until she's finally done & I don't have to deal with her anymore.
I just hate how much this bothers me. It got to the point today where I just had to leave, so I did -- she criticized me for doing the same thing that she did earlier in the afternoon! One of these days I know I'm going to snap... until then, I'll keep taking my little nerve-calming walks...

Not too far off... I'm not as liberal as the quiz claims (yes, I've been known to vote for the occasional conservative candidate). And the description of my "date match" isn't too far off -- those are some of the qualities I see in Eric, so there must be something right here! haha

In a mood...
Mood:
 down
Now Playing: The Daily Show
I'm in a mood today... not sure what it is, but it basically feels like I'm in a funk. I don't know if it's because I didn't get as much sleep as I should've last night, or the fact that I just spent about 13 hours at school, or a combination of those two. This is one of those moods where little things get to me & irritate me, too, which isn't exactly a good thing. But all in all, I'm just not happy with how things are right now in my life. I'm sick of my apartment & can't wait to move, but I can't until the middle of August. I'm getting sick of my classes this semester, but at least those will be done in a month. I had a frustrating day in the lab today, too. I did three surgeries & it didn't seem like they really went that well. I mean, none of the rats died on me, but it just didn't feel like the surgeries went as smoothly as they have before. Oh well, I've got three more to do tomorrow, so hopefully those will go better (& quicker -- I really need to get my surgery time down... I'm hoping to get down to about 30-40 minutes, & right now I'm averaging about an hour per surgery). And to top this off, I'm really missing Eric. He's coming to visit me for a few days starting on Wednesday, but it's just not soon enough. I could definitely use some cuddle time right now. I can't wait till we're both done w/ grad school & can finally be together again... 3 more years, 3 more years...
Well, I think it's about time I got ready for bed... gotta get up early & do some more surgeries... *sigh*
