[atrb=background, i41.tinypic.com/30aam9u.jpg] Andrey's eyes hung heavy, barely open as he watched one buret drip a slow pace of reacting agent into a sample of the reservoirs water. Each droplet turning a brilliant pink before vanishing back to the clarity of water. pH rising with each small droplet, but not fast enough to capture a tired boys full attention. Andrey wanted this 'job' more than anything, he was there early most days, and if ever it was asked of him, he stayed late. Unfortunately, Andrey was starting to reach a wall in his previously thought to be limitless energy supply. Whit his studies, friends, and clubs life was busy enough. Now he had taken on a few extra training sessions in the danger room with the Headmaster, and on top of that had gotten this opportunity to shadow the great Hank MaCoy. Between it all, sleep had become a minor and some times undervalued part of his life. Sitting now with the hypnotic drip ever so often, and the -wurr- of other machines in the lab, Andrey was finding it hard to push back the sandman's advances. At one point he even caught himself with his head nearly on his arms that were folded on the table before him. Not a very professional look for a kid in a lab coat. Worse off, a laboratory was ripe with dangers, hence the need for the coat in the first place. Fortunately the eye protecting safety glasses were bulky enough that when his face got close enough to his sleeves to touch, they became rather uncomfortable. Startling him back into the world of the conscious. Lifting the glasses he rubbed his eyes with the highest part of his sleeve that he could, certain it was clean enough to avoid any chemical contact to his pale blue orbs. A deep breath trying to stave off the calm state of slumber he had nearly fallen into. "I think I need a coffee.." he mumbled to himself idly before checking the pH meter. Still another good five minutes to go, and with the way the day felt, that five minutes could fell like half an hour. Placing the glasses back on his face he stretched some and spun the chair around in a circle twice before settling back into his watchful gaze over the Titration in progress. Brain still begging him to shut down for longer than a few hours, and let it enjoy a full nights sleep. Despite the fact it was not much later than seven in the evening. Over the week however, he had only a tally of 10 hours sleep. Plus of minus a few naps here and there in the sun after classes. Looking at his notes he sighed, really hoping Dr.MaCoy had not witness his bodies attempt to nap. It meant so much to him that he impressed the blue individual. Beast was a genius, and since day one Andrey idolized him for both his scientific skills, as well as his kindly disposition and strong pride in who and what he was. Andrey's father was also a scientist, though his studies where in marine biology, and it really made him feel comfortable to be around the professor. Not only did a small background in the sciences help him land this position, but he hoped in the long run it would help make Andrey a more valuable and active member on his fathers research vessel. It would be nice not just to be a cook, cleaner, or coffee maker. Sure he got to get his hands dirty, but there was only so much of what as done that he understood without getting into a course of some sort. Glancing once more at the clock, and three minutes were left, time felt so slow. Leaning back he looked at the roof and tried to think of things that would get his energy back. Nothing came to mind that didn't just make him feel exhausted. Perhaps he would have to break his code and ask if he could cut out early. Even if just the thought of it already had butterflies in his stomach. Beast was forgiving and understanding, but Andrey had it in his head that if he slipped up, even once, he could loose out on what he had. Treasuring his luck to be here over his own health.
