At first, i didn't think lab class will be so fun. even before the lab class, we had been asked to write a 5-pages journal consisted of the purpose of the experiments, tools and material being used, work steps and so on. i did the stupid journal on my bed, as i fell into my unconcious mind, deeper, and deeper...
those work steps are fairly long and complicated. i was really bored.
but when i was in the lab class, i was amazed. there were so many funny and cute lab equipments inside. there was a sentrifuge machine. it's such a cute machine that rotate fastly around 1000rpm to sentrifuge a sample. when we burn something, we don't use spiritus anymore; there is an integrated gas system. and there is also a cute machine with cute name. it is called soxhlet. its main purpose is to extract an active compound from organic material. soxhlet is such a cute name for such thing, isn't it? i am really not sorry to be in an science engineering major!
