Wildlife Parasitology~ *_*

I finally have the chance to play around with my new hairstyler set! (^_^)

Bought it a day before my fieldcourse.I never thought i will ever have my very own hairdryer tho hehe yea~.. i didnt use these things :P this explains why my hair were always wet and messy.

I was hoping i could curl my hair permanently in the saloon but after a hairtest, i was advice not to due to my previous zigzag perm~ But a temporary curl is okay~ so~.. TADA!! Me my very own hairstylish!

Aiyo~ this is not supposed to be the main topic for this post~..i'll post some pictures of me with curly hair next time yah ^^.

A week on parasites - indeed those 7 days was quite an experience \(^o^)/ I cant wait to post on the things we did, yet, it was too much to talk about that i donno where to start!

Kindrogan Field study centre.

This is where we live, eat and study. Its a very DEAD COLD place.

Wake up 6am everyday to take a shower and make lunches.

Breakfast at 8am. And dinner at 6.30pm

Loch trips for fishing (for our research)

Our lab - where we spent most of the time. (Til 9/10pm)
Freshwater lab - a place where we kept all the animals. Smells!

Basically, its like going to Uni with animal dissection practicals everyday from morning to evening *_*

Yea~ it was a damn tiring week.
