well... i messed it up at a really early step. i'm still not entirely sure how... but missed a part where you transfer a smaller portion of the larger amount (from which you do repeated trials from, i guess) to a smaller vessel and use that to catch the solution from the burette. so... ruined the larger amount of one of the solutions. i could have just started over, i guess... but... i did my best. really. and i failed at it. basically. had enough... had enough before the lab had even started, really.
i went to the convener after... i basically need someone to supervise me so they can't just put me in with a quieter group or by myself. and it needs to be around that time so i can get solutions from there and they don't need to be prepared separately. apparently the disability office will sometimes fund senior students to do that... basically someone to help me do labs and i do them someplace... quieter. i guess i will. the hope being that i can learn to do them so i don't need that accommodation.
i feel... demoralized. somewhat. i don't really understand why they are so very hard for me when they really aren't supposed to be. why i spent 4 or 5 hours preparing for it last night... and most others just roll up and follow along... i did fine on my last lab... where i did most of it beforehand... even with not having any results this time i'll probably do fine again since i did most of the theory questions before class.... everything i could do without the results.. btu i seem to lack the basic ability to follow instructions in there... i feel.. useless. apparently it is a bit of a discretion issue or somethign something with teh disability office. they have do decide if i'm worth it. or something. ugh. still... there it is. i guess... i shouldn't hold my breath.
