A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step

I’m pretty terrified of running a Chemistry laboratory here not only because of the responsibility it entails but also because the students have had minimal to no experience in a laboratory. Well, you have to start somewhere so I had my Form 3s of to the lab today. Since it’s the first time we’ve entered together, I had them tell me safety rules before we entered and the lesson was just asking them what different apparatus (equipment) are. Supposedly they learned all of the names and uses of the apparatus in Form 1 but I’m not counting on them remembering after 2 years and not using them.

A majority of the time, I don’t call or text people, even in the States. Yet when I do talk with friends, it’s great. Such was the case tonight when I talked with Megan (S) for a long time. I’m not sure if I appreciate such conversations more because they aren’t frequent or if I just forget how great it is.
