Yes, that's why I'm gravitating towards chemistry these days! Chem labs are hardcore, although I fear for my reproductive abities each time I play, but biology labs tend to be meh.
I love bio labs (chem is fun but any more than what i've got and i'll eat bleach).
Your reproductive comment made me giggle. At work I put 100ul of ethidium bromide into my gel today instead of 10ul - it obviously turned quite pink, and as I was pouring the hot gel into the waste container I was an idiot and poured in in some way that made it go all over the floor and on my shoes. They made me throw them away so I won't get foot cancer :(
Oh god gel electrophoresis! I stuck the pipette into the gel instead of the wells once and squeezed it very quickly. Naturally, I ruined the whole thing. And sticking my nose into a beaker that once contained cholorform to check what it was? Not the wisest thing to do :D And silver nitrate. Oh dear.
Playing with (dangerous) chemicals, being able to break glass without guilt
I hate:
The long hours :\ I don't know anyone else who has 23 and a half hours a week at school.
