She finally gets to go home. She changes once she gets there, washes her hands and makes supper. After she's done eating, she may go over her notes again to see if she has missed anything. She may watch T.V., do the laundry, clean the house, or do the dishes. Finally, she goes to bed.

I always check my animals first thing. We let them give themselves the drugs, but they're apparently smarter than people, because they usually don't want them. In my lab we work with hamsters and we don't have to touch them too often because we watch how they run on their running wheels. Actually, every time they run one revolution on the wheel it gets recorded on a computer. Then we use a program to make a picture of that animal's activity.
