for providing me one massive "LOL" moment in real life. I just met you and I already know you're a giant goofball who clearly means well. You also have a Droid from Verizon, like I do, but you apparently like your phone, while mine is still a glitchy pain in the ass.
The story isn't even funny without explaining what the purpose of doing this experiment was, which causes me much dismay when I attempt to relay the story. Here is the story to the best of my ability, while not trying to sound like a major Science nerd:
We are experimenting to create an environment for this specific bacteria to live and grow on it. Usually the petri dishes are already created with the agar solution on the bottom of it, which feeds the bacteria so they can grow. We had to make the petri dish and the agar solution from scratch. We were all done placing the liquid form of agar and our bacteria into the petri dish and while we were waiting for the petri dish to solidify, I went to get started on the next portion of the experiment, which required an already made agar/petri dish combo. My partner, Nick, got so excited that he said, "Oh wait! I already got you one!" and as he is saying this he FLIPS our creation upside down, realizes that was the experiment that had to sit out, and then flips it back over in a panic. He looks at me and says, "Oops.." and I BUSTED up laughing.
I'm still laughing about it. It was that hilarious to me for some reason. I couldn't stop laughing/smiling for the rest of the class, which probably looked really weird, considering I sit in the front row and we were playing with bacteria that could potentially cause anthrax. It doesn't help that from the moment we started doing the experiment, he was being a major klutz about everything. The tubes of distilled water that he was carrying? A majority of the water spilled on the table before we could even use them, causing the experiment to take slightly longer than other people. It's probably also the fact I've never sat next to this kid and I've had the class twice now. Usually a lady sits next to me, so when he sat down next to me, I was already intrigued. Nobody sits in the front of the class willingly, especially after 2 weeks of the class.
It was just so painfully adorable to even hear him explain to the teacher why our agar plate looked so fucked up in comparison to everyone elses.
So thank you, Nick, for making the nerd/perfectionist in me laugh =]
