Research Dramatically

I just want to use the word "dramatic" to describe my everyday research. I am doing research to develop crystals from my drug. Few days ago, dramatically, I did not get any crystals after i poured in my polymer solutions. Why? This is the first drama. When I dropped in magnetic stirrer on the boiling ethanol -acetic acid solution, suddenly the solution turned very excited and splashed out! Some of my drugs crystallized immediately on the table. Dr Kang will recommend me to saw off the table to extract them out. (shh...dont tell anybody). This is the second drama.
Today another big episode happened. I was filtering my crystals out of the methanol using Buchner set. After everything finished, I was trying to pull out the tubing. My fingers were grapping the whole L tubing until suddely it broke in my grap! I saw lines on my thumb, and then it stained the water red. Then blood came out from second and third fingers too. This is the climax of the third drama.
