Yesterday in the chemistry lab :)
Yesterday the chemistry lab wasn’t like any other day.
We entered the lab as we used to;
filled with excitement and enthusiasm, wore our white coats and began to listen to the doctor’s instructions. He began by warning us that today’s experiments are of great danger and we’ve to be so careful and concentrated more than before because any negligence while using the chemicals may cause injuries like second degree burn and inflammations….. etc.
The doctor continued by saying that if anyone saw white spots or felt hotness in his skin he must come to him immediately to do the first aid.
All of us were stunned and a look of anxiety mixed with fear appeared clearly in our eyes (although guys pretended to be so calm in front of girls :).
When the doctor had finished, all the students wore the safety glasses which makes us look like divers :) and all uncaring about their looks. All began to work so anxious and so careful that they were moving like robots.
Silence spread the lab, all very concentrated and suddenly.. a sound of a big crash; someone has dropped his test tube.
After 5 minutes of silence another crash; but this time the test tube was filled with a dangerous chemical. All the students who were standing among the one who’d dropped that test tube -in a moment- all jumped the same way the goalkeepers jump to catch the ball :)
After that there were no silence yet mess, noise and shouts. Every now and then I found someone hitting me as he/she ran so fast towards the doc who took he/she to the first aid room and after a few minutes the door opened and a pale yellow faced student came outside with a cream on his/her burned skin.
One of my friends who was extremely careful was one of the victims; she wiped some drops of a dangerous chemical that she’d dropped on the side bench with a tissue, after a while she unconsciously wiped her face with that tissue and then a shout was heard.
Thanks God it was a first degree burn and no deformation happened; we still can recognize her (only when she talks :)... joke)
In my way… my coat was the victim it was torned and stained by a chemical that dropped on it.
O’ Lord save me or I’m not gonna get married :)
