Today, I came to class and we came to the computer lab. We had to sign up on our schools wiki by typing in our username and password, which was our name again. Then we had to change our password to our own preference. After we signed in again to make sure our new password worked, we had to go to our class blog and reread the syllabus. After we were set on our class blog we went to blogspot.com and made our own blog. Our username was our email address and then our own password. After I finished my blog I had to add 5 more branches for my blog for my class. After the branches were done i added a video wendy made off of youtube.com.

Today in class
Today in class we talked about the five different types of health,physical, spiritual, mental, emotional and social... All without my notes :) . Then as when class was getting good we had a fire drill which resulted in us going outside and then coming back in. When we came back in we went right back outside for almost like a study or lab. When we got out there we were told to get to a green post in 20 seconds. When everyone was at the post, we talked about what of the 5 healths we used then we wrote them down in our notebook and described what we did. After that we went to different spots and described each spot the same way we described the running to the post, and what different aspects they were to the 5 kinds of health. When we went back inside a box had gotten out way and we had to move it. Then after that we talked about juicing a little more and then the bell rang.

JUICING
What is juicing and why would you want to have juicing be part of a health lifestyle?
Some people believe that juicing is by far the best way to lose weight because it gives you all the nutrients and vitamins that you would need in a normal diet but with less calorie loss. Most protein from juicing comes from the vegetables celery, spinach, asparagus, string beans and cauliflower. When you juice vegetables you get all the nutrients and benefits.

When we first got into class we took a survey on our habits in life like drinking, smoking, exercise, stress and a couple other things. Then Mr. Cahoon asked people around the room about what we scored on each subject. After we got all that done we finished watching the movie on juicing and how we should prepair certain fruits and vegetables before actually juicing them. Then we watched two more clips about certain juicers, one was the Breville Juice Fountain Elite which is the juicer we ordered and the other was on The Jack Lalanne Power Juicer.

When we got to class we talked about how grades come out next Friday and if you don’t have all your work on you blog then you wont be able to play sports for awhile. Then we checked other peoples blog to see how much they had done. After that we talked about other assignments that we had to do including creating a account at del.ici.ous.com. Then we went to flikr.com to see how to get an account there. Then we went to a food pyramid site which is where we will do our group project and I will be working with Molly.

9/14/07

We checked peoples blog's to see what people had done and we learned not to put offensive pictures on our blog. We went over the food pyramid assignment and what had to be done. Then we put a couple of peoples information into http://www.mypyramid.gov to see how many calories and what kinds of food they should eat to stay at the weight that they are in.

WE finally got the juicer and Mr. Cohun showed us how to use it properly, then we put pieces of apple into it and made apple juice (which was very good). After we had our tastes of the new juicer i shared projects which were vitamin D, ginger, garlic and peaches. Then Kiya talked about her vitamin which was vitamin b-6.

We went to the computer lab today so people can catch up on there blogs so they would be passing. I only needed to post everyone's projects into my own blog. But waiting for Mr. Cohun to help me with my flicker assignments.

Ricky came in today from Planned Parenthood to talk about STI's. He wanted us to know about the 7 most common STI's that infected teenagers. The 7 were chlamydia, gonerea, syphilis, HIV/ AIDs, genital herpes, genital warts, and crabs and talked about how we get them, what they do to you body, how to treat them and then the serious side effects if not treated. Then he gave us a sheet with more information on it and then on the other side a instruction guide to tell if you have testicular cancer.

9/27/07

Ricky came in class today one again but not to talk about STI's but to talk about the different kinds of birth control like spermicides, male condoms, womens condoms and little copper rods that go into the vagina. The best way of birth control is not having sex.

We were disappointed again with the lack of juice that was brought into class and Mr.Cohun lectured us on how we need to bring in our ingredients or we will fail. Than after the speech, people started to present there vitamin projects but not everyone was able to get them done due to the lack of time.

10/3/07

I was supposed to bring in my juice today but the ingredients that I brought in weren't able to actually put in the juicer so I was given another day to do my project. After another speech about our juicing project we started to get into a big war about health care and other things that were against Ron Paul and Wendell.

10/5/07

Mr.Cohun wasn't here today so we ended up watching a movie on decision making. The movie was very self explainitory but Michael Pretchard brought up interesting points in young adults decision making.

10/9/07

Today we started talking about testicular cancer in of course men. We talked about the ages that it is most commonly found in men which is from 15-25 and only 1-2 percent of men actually acquire this cancer per year. Testicular cancer has yet to have a cause but it is treatable and 100% detectable by anyone including yourself.

10/11/07

Today in class we went into the computer class to work on our individual tobacco project.

10/15/07
