Well... Wasn't that bad.

Yup, went through my first day of work. It was alright. Basically was a day of orientation, where we were briefed about the organisation, safety and admin stuff. Got to choose our research project that will be our lives for the next half year at least... Mine is related to gylcoproteins - basically proteins with sugars and modifications done on them. So I will have to find ways to find out what are the series of gylcoproteins that occur inside the cells as they transform. Don't ask me how I'm gonna do that... Have zero clue for now. Thankfully, my supervisor seems a really nice guy. Then again, they all do seem very nice initially. But you will never know their true nature until you start working in the lab! Got another supervisor too.. a lady, seems pretty nice too. Hopefully, I was right in getting this project. How nice your supervisor is can make a hell lot of difference to an enriching year or a year of torture. Well, the real floundering and horrors will start on Monday... So gonna relax this weekend while I still can. Have to do literature research though... Ah!
Oh... developed a splitting headache as the day progressed. Think whenever I have to concentrate for long periods of time after having been used to slacking, I will develop a headache. (Occurred on the 1st day of massage class too! Haa.) Brain not used to so much work lah... Think once I get used to it, should be fine. Though really have to stash a stock of Panadol Actifast! Haa.
Will be able to go for my graduation too.. Thank god. But only half a day of leave! Have to go back to work after lunch. Oh well... This is the reality of life!
