Chem Lab

I did my first hands-on work in the lab today. And I haven't totally destroyed anything yet! Though I think I was supposed to start a machine going and didn't. Told the grad student I hadn't started it, but he clearly didn't realize that's what I was referencing, because he was surprised to find it not running. But I don't think that's anything too tragic. And he really should have noticed...the door was wide open. lol. But I am feeling comfortable and happy with my placement, and all will be well.
