Stanford Jounal(part 6)

High-tech today! What about having biotechnology and earth science in one day for about 5 hours? Probably not. But today we did it, isn’t it crazy? I love the biotechnology class but not the earth science class.

First we went to have biotechnology class, it’s kind of interesting. Bio means life and biology and technology is using human beings to do things, interesting?

First Mr. Sebastian (our teacher) told us about DNA,RNA and protein. He gave us an example: anti-body is a kind of protein and each kind of it can use us different parts.

Than the teacher told us a new high-tech word: methylation, he told us that the methylation can help the cells or other things know when to turn on or when to turn off. This thing act all nature and it control all our body and the environment and our body control it. It’s kind of amazing. If your body’s  some methylations turn on (bad ones) you will get disease or worse cancer.

He also told us what was he had work on : mouse, squirrel, ants and fish. He studies mouse for pain and studies squirrel for hibernation and studies ant for pdyphenism and their unbelievable change.

I am really interested in biology now.

In the afternoon we have earth science class. It’s not that interesting and really weird to me. But the teacher is really good and kind. Mrs. Kimball told us there are totally 3 kinds of rocks: seclimentary rocks, igneous rocks and sandy rocks. The teacher leaded us to see all kinds of rocks in the campus, it’s not that cool.

After these classes the boys (included a girl) played soccer and I had a great fun watching it.

Days past quickly and I love being here!!!!!
