Just had my first prac last saturday. It seriously sucked! Because with so much experiment to do and so many questions to answer for the report there isn't much time! Our report this time is just answering questions from the practical manual and tear it off from our book for submission. We have to finish and hand it before our practical ends. so sucky. My frens from another group ddn't manage to finish on time, the lab technician from what I heard her saying, just switched off the lights and left with a box of their reports. Those who didn't submit is good luck to them. Never had i hated practical in my life so much! Esp the lab demonstrator in charge.
Yesterday had another practical though, this time round it was better. I finished whatever answers that I can without needing experiment results and I could focus better on my practical This time we had to purify benzoic acid from the anti-malaria drug. Recrystallisation of the benzoic acid take up alot of time though. haha. Luckily my lab partner and myself we scratch the glass surface of the glass to induce the formation of crystals. The lab demo said if we dun have the crystals we wun have better grades than those who got unless reasonable explanations is done. phew. Another gal from her group couldn't get her crystals so she joined my group for the results. AND guess what this gal is my senior from NYP, from year 2004 batch. World is so small.
