Chemistry days 2 and 3

Hey everyone! I know this post is a little late....
We continued our work on our chemistry experiments for two days following the first day. There was a lot of wait time with the experiments we were observing, so the groups split up so only two from each group were in the lab at any given time. We took 1.5 hr shifts so that it would be manageable.
Our first day when we left for our first break, our lunch break, we walked through the building dedicated to anatomy, and observed that the med students were holding a memorial service for those who had assisted in the learning of the students participating in the gross anatomy lab. Our second break was when the hearses were there to pick up the caskets.
Our second day was a little less eventful,  however during our second break we ran across the street to McDonalds for some ice cream, and there was a SUPER freaky Ronald McDonald impersonator there. Really kinda scared me. Because of space restrictions most places are multiple floors so we went up a level to avoid him.
Overall the chemistry experiments seemed to be successful, but only time will tell if we got the results we really wanted. I wish though that I would have had more of a chance to work on some of the experiments, however I understand that the masters students we were working with didn't want us to screw anything up, especially since they invest so much time before and after we are there to make sure everything goes right. I definitely admire my cousin Ryan for what he must be working on with his graduate degree! Chemistry sure is not for me!
Thanks for reading along everyone!
