again in the lab
Something really funny..
when I go into the lab storage room that's full of chemicals and DANGEROUS stuff, there's all these bottles with thin plastics over them..so I look closer and they usually say stuff like "proven to cause cancer" or "suspected to cause cancer, handle with care."
Hmm..like a thin, cheap plastic is gonna prevent it from causing cancer. Wow. So weird.
Whenever I'm at school handling some of the substances I handle at my dad's lab, the teachers are always like "OMGZ. EVERYBODY PUT ON YOUR GOGGLES! WEAR AN APRON AND USE GLOVES!!!!!"
Here, everybody just touches stuff with their bare hands, and handles them like it's no big deal.
But since I'm new, I'm made to wear gloves. Which is good I guess, cos if not, I'll probably touch something reactive and kill my hands. meh. that's my life.
I'm actually starting to enjoy working in the lab now, cos it's fun...I guess. At least it's something to do during the holidays. Plus I feel extra productive and smart working with chemicals that I can't even pronounce.
My mom's going back to China next Monday, so I get her car for like 2 weeks before I go off to governor's school. YAY. Next Monday is also my birthday. It's weird though. When I was younger, turning 18 seemed like such a big deal. I always wondered what I would look like, be like when I'm that old. Now, it seems like I've pretty much remained the same, and I'm still a kid.
I don't feel that excited about growing older. meh. I wanna be a kid.
