Labs (Practical class)

I wouldn't say that laboratory work is tedious.
To be honest, I really enjoy all the practical classes that I had so far.
AWESOMENESS~

Although, some of the practical class can last as long as 6 hours (excluding the one hour lunch break time)
Yes, we Pharmacy students are well-known for our "killing" long hours in the laboratory in the Nottingham University.

The worst part is neither about the pre-lab questions/preparations nor the workloads in the lab. It is about the REPORTS that we have to write after each practical experiment we did.

Urghhhh.... *vomit blood*
It is the sense of satisfaction when we hand in our reports BEFORE THE DEADLINES that motivates us to move on.
