The lab at night It is 11.15 at night in the lab. Everything is quiet, apart from occasional rumblings of certain equipments. I'm here alone, with the fishies, writing another blog entree. The lab seems so different at night. It's peaceful, silent, and rather scary. But I like it better this way. I can focus more, and everything seems to slow down. My advisor's office, which always seems authoritatively fearsome, is now still and empty, and so are my colleagues' desks. I can't see my mentor in her usual place, where she would often appear rather anxious, staring at her computer screen. My Ukrainian colleague who is usually so serious-looking and hardworking, and my Russian colleague who always seems so calm and fatherly are nowhere to be seen. My cheerful Spanish colleague who is expecting, and a Singaporean colleague sitting next to her who is also a young mother, no one would expect them to be here, away from their beloved families, at this hour. Another Singaporean colleague who often appears angry and irritated, my three other colleagues with their happy faces and merry noises, can't be seen nor heard at this moment. The internship students who are helping us are also not here. I am the only one here, and the fishies are the only company I have right now. I await the time I can finish my experiment for the night. One more hour to 1 am, and I'll be heading home to rest for the coming day. Next day will be another busy day, and I'm truly blessed to have all these works to do. 0 Comments: |
