                     Dear diary,
                           
                It's maple tree branch cell again, today is a rather good day. No Canadians have tried to take my sweet maple yet, they'll never get my delicious maple! Mwaahahahaaaa! Well on another note, so today I woke up ready for my day, normal life of a cell right? But then it FINALLY happened! I split into two! The new little baby cell was very nice but a little confused, so of coarse I had to replicate my DNA chromosomes so he'd know his duties. Oh, I apologize for you don't know what I have to go through to split into another cell. Don't worry diary I'll tell you all the juicy details! 

               So first things first, before I start any of the 'fun' stuff I must go through interphase and my nucleus copies my DNA, or blue prints. My Nucleus is like my brain, it tells the rest of my body how to function and it's duties. So after that painful step in cell Mitosis I go through Prophase, where my Chromatin condenses into Chromosomes and my nucleus dissolves. Now I am ready for the next step! This step is less painful, but let me tell you it tickles a lot! I almost bumped into my neighboring cell because I kept jerking around. So in this step all the Chromosomes align to my center, so that in the next step, Anaphase they can be split into the new cell. And lastly, Telephase, were the cells Chromatin expand and my jelly Chytoplasm that holds everything together divides so me and the new little baby cell can have some. Much like this diagram I drew EVER so kindly for you! <3

              So that concludes all the steps of my splitting into another cell! Now let me tell you about my.......
