goldfish BioLab

we used live specimens for bio lab. the frog we knew we had to kill:but the goldfish we weren't sure, but we hoped not. but then our prof immediately reassured us that we werent going to harm the goldfish. whew. haha all we had to do was put it on a petri dish and make sure its gills are wet while we examine its tail fin under the miscroscope. most of our fish were feisty, jumping around, that it took a while before our group managed to focus ours under the miscroscope...blood flow of the fin. coooool.
unfortunately, some goldfish didnt make it. some died before lab class even started. (21 gun salute)

the reason behind this blog

"Eeeww!" screamed my roommate as she caught me replenishing the 75% ethyl alcohol of my froggy's container on the dorm's kitchen sink. most instances, i bring back biolab "stuff" back to my dorm. ive come to know so far, that these "stuff" either come in vials, plastic containers, or black cylindrical lunchbags, and that they either smell of formaline or rotten bananas.

i will not apologize to my roomates for all the dead (or alive) critters i bring into our dorm room. these things are FUN! and i learn at the same time! they should at least be thankful that, in the future, i wont need to bring back a cadaver to dissect (it would be backpain, for my part, if i do need to carry such a specimen to and from school)

four years of this. i want to blog about my four years (hopefully not more) as a biology student of the University of Santo Tomas. after which, i will start another blog which i will call the "Ang Paghihingalo ng Isang Estudyante ng Medisina".
