Unwanted? A nuisance? :(

So sad i feel like crying! Miin (the newbie Malaysian PhD student i'm following around) and i were supposed to go to Magnetic Island today to start setting up her tank experiments. Just as we were loading our stuff onto the vehicle, one of the other PhD students says she doesn't want us around today. Said she wants to just have time alone with the other gal. Are we (or just me) really such a nuisance? :( :( I know those gals must be stressed by their own work, but still.. Miin is new and needs help and guidance. I can totally understand it from Miin's point of view cuz this is like deja vu of my own coral spawning work earlier this year, and i was left totally helpless and frustrated! :( Well at least Miin is strong. Ha why am i the one crying when she should be the one to be really upset...
