bananas, kristen, and glucose

Bananas. I've always liked them. I think. They have to be perfect. Not too green. Then they are all starchy. Not too yellow. Then they make me gag. And lately banana has taken on a new meaning.

Kristen. I like her. No, I love her. I've known her my whole life. She's my cousin. And has been my roommate for over a year now. She's the best. She's 19. 3 1/2 weeks older me. A huge BYU football fan. Well BYU sports in general. She has brown hair. She has a some odd talent to make me laugh just by looking at me. We have many things in common. And many things not. She gives great prayers!

Glucose. CHO 6 12 6! I've learned a lot about glucose lately and in the past year. It gives us energy. Glycolysis is a 10 step process, where glucose is changed to pyruvate. And pyruvate goes through the citric acid cycle. It gives us ATP! ATP makes us run, walk, etc. I'm learning all about this in chemistry right now. If you would like to know more about glucose I would be more than willing to tell you more. Glucose is pretty cool!
