Just a brief story about a ribosome being awesome.

Yo, nucleus, I'm really happy for you. Imma let you finish. But the ribosome is one of the best parts of the cell ever. My reason why you make ask? The nucleus is really full of itself. I mean really all the nucleus does is remember stuff and tell others what to do. I personally would rather work and make something of substance, something that is be used by others aka what the ribosome does. That is why I would want to be a ribosome if I had to be a part of a cell. The ribosome makes all the necessary proteins for the cell, so basically it's a pretty big deal. Well you might say who cares about proteins, and that is where I am going to stop you and remind you that proteins do almost everything in a cell other than store genetic information (and frankly who cares about that). Would there be any reason to store genetic information if the cell would die anyways, of course not, so without the ribosome the nucleus is useless (take that nucleus). Now I have to say the nucleus is not all that bad, it does help the ribosome out by telling it what proteins to make and how to make them which is pretty handy. The issue that I too many people see the nucleus as the most important part of the cell (which it clearly isn't). All the other parts of the cell deserve some credit. Without the rest of the parts the nucleus is absolutely useless, so the nucleus needs to be a little less self centered.

Titrations....
I found the enzyme lab to be kinda interesting with our final result. It was a moment that you had to think of why you are getting the result that you are getting. Other than that though it reminded me why I hate titrations so much. I thought that when we would do titrations in biology that we would not have the issues that we had in chemisty, it turns out we had almost the opposite issues. In chemistry the titrant was too weak, so the it took way to much titrant to get a color change. In our experiment we got a color change almost instantly which although it is still an issue, I find it to be a less boring issue. So even though I didn't find anything really new in this experiment it was still very interesting, and made my hatred of titrations a tiny bit smaller.

Introduction
Hello, my name is Steven Bradford pretty obvious because it is at the top of the page. I am a senior at Sparta High School. I enjoy mountain biking, tennis, and camping. After high school I plan on going to either Ohio Northern University or Trine. I plan on pursuing a degree in computer engineering. The reasoning for me taking AP Biology is so I can try to get some more college credit. What I really hope to come away from this class with is a college credit for biology.
