In the middle of the week, the day Wednesday give me hope, but alongside that it also makes me extremely tired. When Wednesday's come up, hope arouses, as I feel as though the week is about to end. I feel as though the tired feeling was there during Monday's and Tuesday's. The happiness over comes me as it reminds me that there are two more day's left to the weekend, and the time for rest, again. But as the day continues, that feeling goes away. The feeling goes as I then realise, that there still are two day's left. I feel as though the nights have not been enough, and with the week half passed, it feels that there are more and more things piling onto my back. After the morning passes, we have morning tea; the day feels like a drag. It’s like the day is getting longer and longer due to no reason. It continues on without any problems. But that’s when the problem comes up. Your tiredness doesn’t allow me to stay as happy as I would want to. It doesn’t allow me to do the active things I wished I could, because have the week has passed, and then you don’t feel like doing anything. Wednesday’s comes and goes; but the feeling never changes. The feeling of hope is still there, the hope of getting closer to the weekend, the hope for rest. As the week starts again, you feel rejuvenated, but as Wednesday approaches, it feels as though you have not gotten any sleep, even over the weekend. But I guess that’s just how I feel. It doesn’t allow you to see the good for the rest of the day, as the feeling of hope is already gone, but that is just how it is.

Binge Drinking
Binge Drinking Affects Brain, Memory
Young Brains More Vulnerable Than Adults'
By Buddy T, About.com Guide
Updated May 25, 2010
As the drinking rates have gone up, there are more and more young adults starting to drink. Due to this, they start damaging their brain with the increase of memory loss for later in life. Experimented and proved in the Duke University researchers, it is said that alcohol is more vulnerable to the toxins that effect the brain is an higher percentage than that of an adult. Rats, going around the maze which they knew very well were failing at completing the maze at their usual timings due to the alcohol that was given to the rats. Drinking once in a blue moon is alright, but this matter mainly applies to the heavy drinkers. Although these experiments were done on rats, researchers have implied this on the human brain.
In my opinion, this matter is very true. Many teenagers and adolescents drink without thinking about their health for their long term, or even short. Having memory losses can be a very hard on life in the future. Although yes, people drink because they are stressed, or even because they think it is cool, but they need to realize that drinking can harm their body in various ways. Alcohol, not only makes you loose you ability to remember things, but also it intoxicates the body in a high percentage, increasing gradually. The people who drink need to take into consideration about their future health as they are not being able to keep up with the society if they keep loosing their memories. Although this research talks about how the adolescents alcohol intake is worse than for adults, it does not mean that the adults should continue on drinking. There should be a limit for everything a person does, and drinking a lot will damage their life, in the present and for sure for the future.
Vocabulary:
Binge:

Meaning all the people who drank, soaked the alcohol up, giving them the name drunk, then getting the period of self indulgences.
c) While the woodstock students enjoyed binge chocolate eating, they didn't realize that it has gotten them fat.
Exposure:
a) "After a moderate dose of alcohol, the rat exposed to binge drinking during adolescence exhibited memory loss."
b) i)The act of exposing or the condition of being exposed
ii) This word derived from the Americans who thought of something of someone misleading or something that was not right.
c) After swimming, I was exposed to the cold atmosphere which gave me goosbumps
Implications
