Blog 8: A subject I enjoy studying

Hi everyone and welcome one more time to my blog, today I am going to tell you why I consider that Chemical Laboratory Techniques was the subject that I enjoyed the most during my first term at the University.

Basically during all my years in school, the classes were theoretical, delivering lots and lots of information, except very few occasions in which I had the opportunity to go to the laboratory and do small experiments. However, I was left wanting more, because it was something out of the ordinary and I was completely fascinated to be able to do, this is why when I entered University and I found that I would have the opportunity to go weekly to the laboratory, developing and knowing new things, I found it completely cool.

Laboratory classes always began with the teacher's demonstration of what we would do at that time and, after giving us the instructions and precautions, we could begin to use the tools of the laboratory to develop certain phenomena.

We started, literally, playing with water, this to get closer to the materials, and later with the time, the laboratories consisted of preparing solutions, distilling them, forming crystals by saturation of a solution, determining how much solute there is in an unknown solution, among others.

I like being able to have this possibility and I am completely expectant of what will be the next subjects related to laboratory work with which I will meet throughout the career.
