Wat a start!!

well all i can think right at now is where to start... final year, final semester so have to do this project about which i will be questioned about by some crackjacks who will definuly not know anything abt my topic and im pretty sure abt it.. but my interest in the subject compelled me to join this lab and start a project related to material synthesis and drug activity.. initially had sat for weeks together coming up a perfect protocol... phew!! twas a relief to start doin the experiment which by the way lasts for 5 hours... so did i get any results?? no!!! the equipment stopped functioning bcoz the electrode fell down in the solution beaker and broke and hence experiment stopped... weeks preparation of charting out the procedure, gone to the drain... so again spent another week including christmas day in the lab pondering as to where to start and as to how do i go abt the project.... so finally decided to do using hydrothermal method ( equipment cost : 11 lakhs) .. and started the run and everything went on smoothly... got the product and then discovered that it had impurities more than the desired material... there's this stirrer which dint work and had deposited all the metals rusted on the liquid sample.... tried it again yesterday but still no luck.... so again today but still had the god damn impurities.... the pissing factor in this is that i have to wait for more than five hours to reach the optimum conditions and then 12 hours to come back to room conditions so that i can remove the sample.. so after all this painful procedure when i see those impurities in the bottom of the beaker.. just go crazy.... on the other had made plans for the great 2010 first day bash... but instead have to spend time in the lab running the process.. well here is to a crappy new year!!!
