Immunology lab was highly traumatizing. Imagine : Freshly dead white mouse lying in front of you. your job is as follows
- Pinch the abdomen skin and lift. Then inject the some solution ( cant remember what ) into the poor dead mouse, while making sure you dont puncture it's stomach or intestines.
- Give the dead mouse a tummy rub (which i thought was immensely funny, after i left the lab, of course)
- make an incision and proceed to suck out the stuff you just injected ( was trying SO hard but its intestines kept getting stuck in the tip :/ lots of squealing and jumping up and down at this point )
- Crucifix the mouse on this pad. ( very noisy process.. all the noise from me.. heh )
- Proceed to cut open the mouse.
- look an all the innards and remove thymus and spleen.
- throw the carcass away. proceed to do experiments with removed body parts and solution.

absolutely traumatizing.. *shudder*
