How long should I wait after sending a professor my CV and cover letter before bothering them about it?

>Mammalogy lab
>Learning how to prepare specimens for collections
>Get my mouse
>Carefully skin him
>Get to the eyes, do one perfectly and horribly fuck up the other
>Crap
>Turn the skin inside out to stuff him and then back around, one arm gets caught inside and I don't notice as I'm sewing him up
>Professor comes over and uses my poor excuse for a mouse on how to insert the rod into the tail to keep it stiff
>"Now when you do this you have to be really careful or else you'll break the tail..."
>Prof then proceeds to break my tail
>At the end I have a lumpy stuffed mouse with one gigantic eye, three appendages, and a broken fucked up tail
>Lovingly call him Eyegor

Picture semi-related. Not my handiwork, but still hilarious.
