when i first declared my major..i was a little iffy about it.
i mean biology. it seems cray cray. something i wouldn't picture me honestly doing.
slowly but surly i am coming to LOVE my major. it's not easy..by any means. but so far, it makes sense. it clicks. it's hard enough to make me work but not hard enough to make me want to poke my eyeballs out. i love it already:) and! it's even better when your best friend is in the class with you.
biology teaches very important life lessons.
like we are all very special.
like really.
today we talked about mitosis and meiosis.
and did you know that at the end of all the cell divisions, if we started with a sperm cell, all those newly divided cells will mature into little spermies? that will eventually try to fertilize an egg.
but in a girl, when the cell originally divides, it's a gnarly division. one half is huge..then you have this itty bitty other scrawny half..then they both go through meiosis, and you only end up with one cell big enough to mature into an egg cell. that eventually be turned into a baby with the help of the spermies.
we are all so special!! we were the ONE cell big enough to mature into an egg cell...:) well of course not ONE but 3/4th of the possible egg cells died...we are freakin awesome.
so we not only are the fastest sperm, BUT the egg cell that survived meiosis.
i heart being a bio major.
