For some, the professor became a bug who subliminally ordered them to report to lab early and come back late every day, forcing participants to miss lectures, class, and study group. Many professors preferred to watch from a distance. Often, they watched from a great distance such as Japan, Italy, or Bould er. Thus, we were pointed to the ubiquitous grad student.

They also informed us that they could tell us this because we would never be able to get a hold of these chemicals. Skipping a few words, labs do have the potential for fun, particularly when no one is around to sup ervise you around all those jars of 12M HCL and really strong ammonia. Along with labs, of course, there is lunch. Lunch often provides a good respite from the daily rigors of playing Asterax all day. It also is a good excuse for leaving lab for an hour, or two, or three.
