Learning More

It's like everyday, the walls of this lab are getting smaller and smaller
And the white coats and safety goggles are starting to suffocate me.
The various glass beakers are continuously reflecting the florescent lights
In strange directions and patterns that slowly bring my eyelids down.
Lab benches have this insatiable thirst for lysol and paper towels,
And my lab notebook is somehow filling itself with strange markings.
The stools have this habit of becoming the most uncomfortable place ever,
And the collection of viles with rancid contents all have crooked labels
Which my focus can't seem to escape from, crooked labels everywhere.
I love the information and knowledge, But the lifestyle that accompanies it,
I can't say I'm too fond of. It stretches beyond membrane shapes and structures,
To a place where reality borders the edge of a glass slide under a microscope.

So yeah COSMOS, it's honestly been really great and I know its just going to get greater with time. Just meeting new people everyday is so refreshing, and discovering things about the people I already knew is also equally refreshing. Just being engulfed in this world of laboratories has also been an amazing learning experience. I have this great interest in Math and Science, but by being in this lab, it's like I've come to realize more about who I really am and what I really like.
