Finishing up

So May 30 was my last day helping out in the lab. Actually the whole week had been a little funky. Monday we worked up the reactions we had started the Thursday before. On Tuesday things started to go become nonstandard. Tuesday no one could work because the hoods were shut down. This basically means that any dangerous reaction that needed to be worked on could not be worked on. Then Wednesday we were informed that the safety inspector was going to be coming around. So everyone rushed around trying to clean everything, and make sure that the lab was as pretty as possible. Thursday was my last day. I couldn't really start any reactions because I would not be there to work them up. So, that day I mainly copied all the results I had. I found out that I had over 60 pages worth of data. Almost all of them verified that I made certain compounds. I actually have more data, but some was not printed or saved if they could tell right away my experiment failed. So it was interesting.
I will really miss the lab. Fortunately, I will be working there for a month during the summer. So I will get to see everyone again. I really do love working in the labs. I truly do. There is always something interesting going on, and when there isn't someone else is working on something interesting so you can go ask them what they are doing. Everyone there was so helpful and I just really am grateful to everyone in my lab.
