Using smelling salts to wake up in class?
I am taking a class this semester and I often feel drowsy and cannot pay attention and take notes. I try everything, but nothing can pull me out of drowsiness. I have plenty of rest and drank coffee. I am planning on buying some smelling salt to wake up during class. I am only going to take minute puffs and I don't plan on doing it often. Only during lectures. I was wondering if there was any significant health or other consequences I should be worried about.

1 AnswerOther - Europe1 decade agoIs Sowell's Basic Economics overly biased?
I just recently read a book called Basic Economics...however I felt it did little justice to my understanding of economics. Does anyone find his laissez-faire approach to be too overly idealistic? (profits = incentive to compete) I feel alot of his arguments on price control have huge holes in the them (and too simplistic)...tell me your thoughts on Sowell's Basic Economics book.

I am very interested in reading Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, but upon first skim in the bookstore, I found it a little challenging. Before, I buy the book, can someone tell me how hard is it read Wealth of Nations? I took a lot of social studies class in high school, but never any economic classes. I just graduated from high school. Is the book going to be too challenging? If so, what are prerequisites/books I should read first?

1 AnswerOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoLadies, what are you HONESTLY and personally looking for in a guy?
Ladies, what are you HONESTLY and personally looking for in a guy? Appearance and personality wise. For example, I look for girls that are energetic and willing to take risks. (e.g. Someone who never Bungee jump before, but who's willing to try it with me.) Appearance wise; I want a girl that has a good build but not too thin, which shows that she exercises and care about her body, but does not fall in to the pressure of going on extremes to lose weight.

My parents has a TN NAFTA work visa, I have a TD. This mean that my family is not a permanent resident of the U.S. (Hold Canadian Citizenship). However, I have been living in United State since the start of my 9th grade. I am going to apply for U of Michigan, Ann Arbor. However, I am obligated to apply as an International Student. The admission office require me to take the ACT or SAT. But it looks like I don't have to write the essay or get a letter of recommendation. Is that true? Also, I am worried that my "29" ACT score is not high enough. International Student are known to be very competitive. I have taken 5 AP classes as of now, and planning to take 3 more. My GPA should be 3.8333, without counting extra points from AP classes. My "real" class rank...I have no idea b/c my school rank anyone who has a Gpa of 4.00+ ( mine is 4.33) as rank 1. As a result, because of the honor point from AP classes, there are about 25 people (including me) tied for rank 1 in a group of 433 people.
