Sleep...

I've been having hard time to sleep again these days...
It takes me about two hours after lying in bed to be able to sleep...
Last night, I went to bed at 1 am...
But I was able to sleep around 3...
And I have to wake up this morning at 5 for my 730 class...
So I only had 2 hours of sleep...
I was so sleepy and irritable...

I had an experiment about qualitative analysis of Group I cations in chem lab...
It's simple and easy but long...
The procedure is repetitive and kind of boring...
We just have to mix chemicals, see if precipitate is formed, put it in the centrifuge then separate the precipitate from the liquid...
This was repeated until no precipitate is formed...
First, it was a group work...
However, I was the only one who did it for the group...
It will be much easier because they keep on asking what to do even though there's a copy of the procedure in front of them...
Next is the individual work...
It's a replacement for the final report...
We were given unknown solutions and we have to identify the ion present in it...
The procedure was the same as the group work...
Although it's individual work and they should have seen what I did for the group work...
They keep on asking every time what to do next...
Grrr...I was sooo annoyed...
Here I was doing my own individual work and you want me to look after what you're doing!!!
Not to mention I was irritable and sleepy because of lack of sleep...
They were even fooling around and telling me that I should just let them copy because they don't know what to do...
For God's sake, the procedure is in front of you!
You just have to read and follow it...
Besides it's repetitive...
Is that hard for a 20 to 23 year old student?!
I though I was going to snap this morning...
But nothing good will come of it and it will just turn into a big mess...
So I just kept quiet, continued with my work and "accidentally" ignore them...

Checking time comes...
We got a perfect score of 30 for the group work...
But for the individual works, our professor returned the papers and told us to fix it...
It seems my group mates did not understand the experiment and cannot distinguish yellow solution from yellow precipitate...
There are 3 choices for the ions which are lead, silver and mercury...
How come you wrote a precipitate was not formed in the box for identifying silver and wrote that silver ion was present in the solution?!
What's up with that?!
Valerie was even asking me if her work had a yellow precipitate or yellow solution and if her work is correct...
How the hell am I supposed to know?
You're the one who did it...
I didn't even saw what you did...
In the end, we all got perfect scores...Yay...

Our quiz last Friday hasn't been returned...
I'm excited to see my score though...
But experiment 5 was returned...
I got a 69/100...
Again, a point away from passing...
But it's okay...
I got a 78/100 in experiment 4 anyway...
If I get the average of all the returned experiments, it's above 70 which is the passing score...

We won't be meeting on Friday because there's an event in school...
I'm not sure what it's called this year but it was called Mapua Unplugged and Mapua On Sale the previous years...
There will be booths, music, contests and food stalls...
But since, I don't have class and nothing to do at school, I won't be attending it...
I'd rather finish my substrate research than waste time there...
My friends will be having classes anyway...

I translated 2 songs again today while waiting...
After my class, I went to our department...
Because I need the signature of our (temporary) department head for the application for borrowing LCD projector...
She wasn't there so the assistant just asked me to return for it after lunch...
I waited (without eating lunch) and waited...
I returned to the department around 130 pm and still no sign of her...
The assistant told me that maybe she's in the chemistry department...
So I went there and there she is, checking test papers...
I learned that she's not really from our department...
But faculty member of the chemistry department...
She's just borrowed from there for this term because our department lacks faculty members...
Then, I had her sign and filed the application, got approved and went home...

I was so hungry and sleepy when I arrived home around 3 pm...
Ate lunch, lie on the couch and eventually fell asleep...
I woke up around 6 pm because my mom was kicking me...
Her foot was on the arm rest of the couch and she's kicking me to wake me up cause it's time for dinner...
My mom always does that...
She kicks me, pinches me or tickles me to wake me up...

My dad will be home late tonight cause they have a high school reunion...
He called earlier before dinner to inform my mom about their trip...
My dad will be attending a Mines Safety Convention in Baguio City on November 20 to 22...
And my mom will be coming with him...
I really want to go to but I have class...
I'll be left alone again :(

We were supposed to go in that convention too but it wasn't approved...
Even the simple field trip wasn't approved...
I guess it can't be helped since the president of our student council is busy with her thesis...
Just have to wait for other activities...
