Hello Health students!
Happy Holidays!
For your reading pleasure, here is an article recently published in Time magazine, called "Why We Take Risks-It's the Dopamine." All you need to do is read it, and come prepared to discuss it when we meet next week--a way to ease us back into our daily scholastic routine.
I hope you all are enjoying your time off. See you all very soon!

Exam Tomorrow
Hello Health students!
I hope your day is going well and that you are ready for a quick and easy review for your upcoming exam.
All you need to do in terms of studying for tomorrow's Drug Exam is to review the "Big 3," which we covered in class and on the worksheets. What are the "Big 3," you ask? Nicotine, Alcohol, and Methamphetamine.
The links to the worksheets that you have already completed will prove VERY helpful in studying for the exam. Infact, I highly suggest that you take a look at the information on those worksheets and on the websites mentioned in them as you study.
If you have any questions whatsoever, please email me. Even though I am not in town, I am still on call on the eve of an exam!
Good luck!

Extra Credit Opportunity
Hello Health students!
Congratulations on completing the section on drug statistics and use. While the busy work is done, keep in mind that we do have an exam covering this material coming up this week! Do not worry--we will have a detailed review to help prepare you.
In the meantime, here is an extra credit opportunity for you.
I want you to tell me what a Schedule I classification for a drug is, what it means, and at least 5 examples of such drugs. This should be no longer than a half page, be type-written, and is due on Tuesday, December 9.
That's it! If you have any questions, please let me know.

Small Change of Plans
Hello Health students!
After a little bit of consideration, I believe it best for all of us, as a class, to discuss the drug list that will consist of your report choices tomorrow during class. I do not wish for any one person to have their expectations fall short, and discussing our options in person should help with that greatly.
So, enjoy the rest of your evening, and come prepared to class tomorrow, ready to make your decision there.

The Week Ahead
Hello Health students!
I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving Break! But now that it is over, I hope that you are not too tired from all of the tryptophan that you consumed*, and that you are prepared to get working once again.
This week, we will be finishing up The Drug Report by choosing a single drug from a list of many, and reporting on it in the same way we reported on nicotine, alcohol, and methamphetamine. The list will be posted this afternoon, and you should have your choice ready for me to clear at our next meeting.
The worksheet you will fill out will be made available to you on Tuesday, right here on the blog, so make sure that you check back accordingly to get it printed out and completed before it's due date on Thursday.
Once we are finished with The Drug Report, we will begin on the topic of sex, and discuss the psychological/chemical drive fueling the behavior, and mental and physical issues that may arise from engaging in the behavior. Beware, this will be quite graphic, especially when we study sexually transmitted diseases, so if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know ahead of time.
Welcome back!
*Tryptophan is an amino acid that is found in turkey and is suggested to make you feel tired upon its consumption.
