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...
