rubyyaForgot to post this last night.
I bloody hate my driving class so much. My teacher tells so many stories that take twice as long as needed to get the point across, and often end with someone he knows dead. Today is the drugs and alcohol unit. This is my third drugs and alcohol unit, since I took Psychology and Health this year, and both had that unit. I really don't want to go over how neurotransmitters work again or the fact that you can only have a certain amount of beer safely before you'll get sick.
He just said we're gonna talk about the science, and oh boy do I want nothing less. I took that AP Psychology exam, I studied those effects, I don't want to deal with them for a while. The little good news is that we skipped the evil death video about texting and driving that we normally have to watch. I have learned the difference between DUI and DWI which was something I never understood. And now we are talking about genetics. Joys. I already know we can't change what we're born with.
Peer pressure doesn't work if it's never worked. And my god I have no idea what alcohol is called. A mimosa is a drink with alcohol same as beer. I dunno the difference between them. I would much rather have a lemonade. I understand why it's important but I wish there was an option for people who were already terrified of driving. Plus, I'm not gonna go to any frat party, I can barely stand a non-alcoholic party. I'd rather stay in my dorm and read or hide in the library.
"People will be up and drinking at 7:30 on Friday." I spent so long wondering why the hell people were drinking for Shabbat when you weren't supposed to do that and also weren't Jewish before I realized it was something else. Then I realized I had no clue what it was. Apparently there's a special drinking thing on Thursdays which leaves people hung over on Friday? Not particularly interesting.
We are now on the opioid epidemic. Which is a problem the government is just turning around in a circle instead of trying to help. I already know that opioids are pain relievers, and why so many people like them. And are we surprised the Health Care industry are jerks? Now is the scary video! This time about opioids. I feel like you should be able to sue hospitals for prescribing addicting drugs without any heavy regulations, and especially when someone overdoses from them. The war on drugs, oh god. I don't want to go talking about this. It's racist, yes, I know that. For-profit prisons have come up. I just want to learn how to drive damn it.
This has been Health class all over again, and just like Health class, I don't care. I have better things I could be doing, and honestly should be doing. Like reading or finishing my last Comp Sci. Instead I'm learning that eating weed is more potent than smoking it. I knew that, just like how I know smoking it gives a quicker effect.
