First day of summer studentship

yup! first day at work today
woke up at 7.30am, reached there at abt 8.50am. still early so kind of walked around on the ground floor, found the cafeteria and a gift shop there :P
so went up to 2nd floor, ask at reception for the HR ppl who's suppose to bring me to get my swipe card, but she's not here yet (and turned out to be... she's not there the whole day today). and my supervisor wasn't there yet too.
almost 9.10, supervisor came (rupa-rupanya he had to drop his daughter at the day-care centre, that's why he's a bit late), brought me to meet ppl in the lab then explain to me things related to wat i'll be doing. then gave me the ppr he and another guy in the lab just published. so i spent my time before lunch time (i had my lunch ALONE at 12.30 :() reading pprs, including those photocopied from another summer student in the lab.
there are another 2 guys in the lab (not sure if they are postdocs or PhD students)

lunch time was a bit of an adventure. :P
i had to borrow the swipe card from my supervisor since i hvn't got one for myself.
went up to 3rd floor (where the tea room is) through the stairs (wow.. thought i'm able to get there myself coz the lab manager showed me around during orientation few weeks ago) but i couldn't find the tea room on 3rd floor!
so i went down to ground floor with the lift, thinking that i'll just hv my lunch at the cafeteria (since i've found where it is this morning) but there're many ppl there and i'm hving my own sandwiches (yup.. mum prepared them this morning! while i put the bread and the stuff altogether :) long time never had mum making lunch box and breakfast for me!!)
so, i went all up to 3rd floor (again) with the lift. then saw someone walking pass, i asked the lady where's the tearoom but she had no idea and asked me to go ask 3rd floor reception.
so when i was heading to the receptionist, i saw the familiar corridor! the corridor to the tea room! muahaha! so happy i was. but still, i had lunch with the newspaper that i was reading. there are ppl there in the tearoom but i dunno any of them. so....
Christina!! can't wait to hv lunch with u at petermac in jan!! haha! (too bad u're not reading this)

so around 1.30pm, he showed me the flies that i'll be working on and taught me how to differentiate virgin females from the normal ones coz for the rest of the day and will cont tmr, i'll be doing that under the microscope >.<

5pm!! can't wait till it's 5pm!! well, i finished a bit late ~5.10pm coz had to finish up wat i was doing mar. can't just leave like that.
so happy i'm home. mum cooked dinner :)
wonder how it's goin to be in Jan when mum's not around :( aww....

well, it's only 10.37pm now but i really want to go to bed. need to wake up at 7.30am tmr again.
really looking fwd to thursday!! coz of 2 reasons: my grad ceremony, and i'll be off from work! muahaha!
it's at 3.30pm but hopefully ppl turn out so that i can take photos with.
