Not a fun day

Today is like my first day at the NUS Marine Bio lab as an intern.

I would say that it isn't really that exciting.

In fact, I would say it was pretty scary, and I'm am super tired right now.

I reached super early because my mum made me leave the house early. I even spent time having breakfast at Macs. I had to wait because it was so weird, and nobody recognized me. I had to wait for Darren. So I walked around a little bit, and apparently Darren reached already but I didn't know.

So I sms-ed him, after asking around so many times for his number. He said he was in the lab already so he brought me in.

Met Dr. James. He said hi, and brought me to see Dr. Todd. Then, we talked for a little while. He gave me a visitor's NUS account, and gave me my first task.

To look for copyright-free images to use on the posters for upcoming DBS lecture series, as part of the events for DBS's 60th anniversary.

You know how freaking hard it is to look for copyright-free images, HUH?!?

So annoyed when looking for them la. Didn't even know if such posters are considered commercial or non-commercial… It's like grey area or something.

I used mostly NUS images, then Wikipedia, looking for those non-copyrighted ones.

Found like about 4 or 5 for each lecture. There were 8 of them, and I had to find pictures for 7 of them.

I finished my first 6 quite quickly, though it was after lunch. The 7th assignment wasn't given to me yet.

Wasted time by wandering around the lab, which is more like an office, and rather messy. For a long while, had nothing to do. Then in the end helped Darren and his friend to do some stuff. Tried to sort stuff from the mud stuff that has organisms in it.

Then Dr. Todd finished his consult and asked me for my assignment. And gave me a new one. He wasn't exactly overjoyed looking at the pictures, though I think they were quite alright. I guess he thought I had a search engine in my head. But anyways, I felt bad so I searched for more, so that he can choose.

And now I'm super tired.

The atmosphere there was so weird. I felt so odd there, nobody knew me. Nobody really cares anyway. Sigh.

I'm still annoyed that they locked our school emails. All thanks to some idiots who think they are cool and powerful.

I am still slightly pissed with Daniel, apparently. Coz…for various reasons la.

I am also annoyed with another person. A thought came to me recently. I realized that his circle of 'friends' change entirely every few months or so. He ditches his past friends, and come up with excuses to say that they suck. On the other hand, he complains that he has no friends, no friends. And his biased judgment too.

Well, even after being blocked by his tweensey lil girlie-girl, he still doesn't know how it feels.

He will never learn his lesson. I thought after being in someone's shoes, he'll understand. But now I doubt so, coz that's what his pride is for. And that is selfishness as well- wanting everything to be good to him, yet he wants to treat people like shit.

Oh wells.

I hope he learns then.
