somehow i have this feeling that sarah and i always get in trouble during practical lessons.

last year...
(white powdery sample d32 and d33 lie on the table. both look exactly the same. d33 is just finer and more "powdery".)
me: question 6...what does d32 contain?
sarah: yeah.. what does d32 contain?
me: i thought you knew..
sarah: I THOUGHT YOU KNEW..
me: ok..don't panic..hmm.. it's white right...and contains..reducing sugars? does it?
sarah: *stares blankly*
me: ok..ok..so it has to be sugar..
sarah: what crap. it can't be sugar cause blah blah..
me: ok. we have 4 minutes left to hand in our test...so now what?
sarah: i don't know.
me: taste it.
sarah: WHY SHOULD I TASTE IT?! YOU TASTE IT.
me: ok, we'll both taste it..
sarah: what if it's poisonous?
me: the one who survives longer tells the teacher.
sarah: you're crazy, you know that?
me: you're the one who has her finger in the sample... ok..you ready? 1..2..
sarah: WAIT... are you sure it's not like poisonous like rat poison or something?
me: (decides to pour out half the sample..) ok...take a really small bit.. so we can barely taste it... and so that it won't cause.. that much damage..
(we both gingerly out it to out mouths..)
both: CORN FLOUR!
me: ok. good. we didn't die.
sarah: oh my god.i think i just might fail bio practical.
me: scary thought, isn't it?

this year..
sarah: (scrambles to my desk) ANJALI...WHAT IS BA7?
me: (dumps litmus inside) acid.
sarah: what test?
me: anyone of the 3. (adds HCl to H2SO4...yellow ppt formed..)
sarah: which test?!
me: aiyah, drop that devardas alloy inside... test for h2.. (picks up aqueous ammonia and decides to take a whiff to make sure..)
sarah: oh.. you sure?
me: yeah. (mistakes testtubes for teh one with the yellow ppt and inhales a whole lot of sulphur dioxide..) cough..cough.. cough..COUGH...COUGH..COUGH..
sarah: oh my god, ANJALI DON"T KILL YOURSELF...THEN I'LL HAVE NO ONE TO TELL ME WhAT TO DO FOR PRACTICAL!!!

hmph.

lab partner indeed.
