Thesis gonna be the end of me...

Really, I never fully understood why my friends had to stay really late in school for something like this.

NOW I KNOW.

*cries*

I'm rushing with my thesis right now. I still have 7 experiments to do. Each experiment needs about 5-6 hours to complete if I'm lucky... if not then I have to wait for 8 hours like yesterday. T_T

On top of that, I'm getting a bit sick. :( See... my immune system isn't that great, and when I got caught in the middle a heavy rainfall last Thursday I began having coughing fits. ;_; Aside from that, I got an eye irritation because I kept rubbing my eye yesterday and now my left eye is all swollen. Then there is not eating on time (because of waiting for the experiment) and if I ever eat, it's something unhealthy and easy to finish (because I have to go back to the lab for the next experiment). And I also lack sleep because I have to study or make reports for other academic subjects. ._.

I wish there was 100 hours in a day, that way I'd be able to finish all the experiments in one day and I'd have enough time to think about other things for the remaining time. T_T

I still need to characterize the samples (AFM at Ateneo) and I need a working vacuum evaporator. Haaaaaah. Stress. T__________________________T

*prays to finish the thesis this sem*

So short?

I passed my RRL yesterday, which I labored for 4 hours. And my thesis facilitator said it was so short. O_O Was I supposed to make it super long?! T_T

Good news yesterday was that I was able to get a 0.00014 torr reading. That's good enough! I can finally start on my experiments... as soon as I find an aluminum plate, get the current adjustment meter fixed and replace the wrong Argon gas (it was HP, I need UHP) that was delivered last month.

That and some of the papers I was worrying about had their deadlines moved. Yay! :D

Right now I'm finishing a couple of papers due next week. Someone else is going to collate it so I have to them pass early.

I'm definitely going to get a little bit of r&r during the long weekend. Hehe.. :)
