Cellular respiration

In addition to being on my final exam tomorrow, it's also helping me study at the moment. Cellular respiration is the process of turning glucose into energy. First, in the cytoplasm, chemical bonds are broken in a process called Glycolosis. The glucose is then prepared for further breaking down in the transition reaction phase. Then, in the mitochondria, something called the citric acid cycle occurs, before finally the process is completed using the electron transport chain, which gives off the most energy. The brain uses 30% of the product of this process.

This means that in order for your brain to function at its best, you should supply it with carbs. I've supplied so many carbs into my brain tonight that my stomach wants to throw up. So this shit better work.

At least this class is almost over. Now I can go back to regularly updating my blog while really saying nothing.

Earlier I almost was involved in a 4-car accident, caused by two pedestrians who never mastered the fine art of crossing the street. Then, after work, I went to the Plaza with my loverly boyfriend and gazed at the city...and him. Dude I love Albany. :D

Speaking of which, he turned 28 yesterday. And he looks younger than your honor student!!

That made no sense but really, he looks 17.

I need to go back to studying now. Almost doneee!!!!!
