A subject that i enjoy studying this semester


This semester I have several subjects, but my favorite by far is Instrumental Analysis Laboratory. In
this lab we put in practice what we learned before in the classroom, like measuring pH or the
concentration of an analyte using a gas chromatograph, among other techniques and methods.
We see everything covered by the previous subject, such as chromatography (both gas and high-
performance liquid or HPLC), potentiometry, elemental analysis and UV-visible spectroscopy. I like
this subject because I love to learn in a practical way; I usually get bored in other more theoretical
classes, but in this one I got to use the equipment and I learn better this way. In the laboratory I
often do a lot of things: from weighting and preparing samples, to measuring it, collecting data
and analyzing, but what I like the most is crafting the report, as I have a natural talent to do this.
Even with all of this, the only thing I do not like about this subject is the class time: is too early in
the morning (8:30 am) and I like to sleep!
