Q: It can be really easy to skip a class or two, but attending every class can help ensure two things: you get participation marks (if the instructor is giving them); and you're more likely to remember something taught in class. Sitting at the front of the class isn't so you can suck up to the instructor, it's to increase your chances of paying attention and remembering what is being taught. You're less likely to be distracted by other students if you sit at the front of the class. If your class is being held in a computer lab, or if you bring your own laptop (or tablet) to class, resist the temptation to use it for non-class related stuff. Close all your email and social media programs while in class. If you're only using your computer to take notes or view presentation slides, disconnect from the internet. By disconnecting yourself from the internet (and email and social media) you are giving yourself a chance to resist the temptation to pay more attention to your computer than your teacher. Any activity that is not class-related should be avoided while in class. Use your in class time to pay attention. If you have a question in class, ask it. If you think you know the answer to a question the instructor asks, answer it. If class participation is part of your class grade, asking and answering questions in class will help you get those points. Being verbal in class will also draw the attention of your instructor, who may then get to know you and consider you a student who is interested in learning. The best person to help you get better grades is the person who gives out those grades. Make an appointment to speak with your instructor about your performance. Let your instructor know that you aren't satisfied with your grades and you want to improve. Ask your instructor where you might be going wrong. Ask if there are any specific areas where you should focus. Many instructors will allow assignments to be handed in late, but they'll deduct points automatically for late assignments. Therefore, work it into your schedule to submit your assignments on time to ensure you can get the most possible points for your hard work. Chances are, not all your classes are required or mandatory. For your elective classes, select topics that you actually like and want to study. Liking and enjoying the subject matter not only makes attending class easier, it makes remembering the material easier. Scientific studies have actually shown that cramming for an exam or test the night before doesn't actually work. You are actually more likely to do better on the test if you stop studying and get some sleep, than if you spend the whole night attempting to remember everything for the test. Teenagers need at least 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night to be able to function effectively the next day. Children between the ages of 6 and 13 need 9 to 11 hours of sleep every night in order to be able to function well the next day. While it may seem like a good idea to grab an extra cup of coffee or drink that can of Red Bull, the more caffeine you consume in the afternoon means you'll have a harder time sleeping that night. Try to keep drink caffeinated beverages only in the morning.
A: Attend all your classes. Sit at the front of the class. Resist using your computer for non-class related items. Put your hand up. Speak to your instructor. Finish your assignments by the due dates. Enroll in classes you actually enjoy. Get lots of sleep.

Q: Measure from the bed beneath the water to the highest level the water reaches in your area. Depending on how soft the earth is below the water, add another 12ft (0.300.61m) to that lengthcloser to 2ft (0.61m) for soft, silty beds. Multiply this length by the number of beams you will need to get the total length of PVC. When you're choosing the beams that go inside of the concrete, add another few inches to account for the height of the pier or dock above the water. For standard 8ft (2.4m) decks, a PVC pipe with a diameter of 12in (30cm) and a post with a diameter of 4in (10cm) should be sufficient. If you're building a deck that is larger than 8ft (2.4m), start with a PVC pipe of 18in (46cm) and a post that's about 6in (15cm). If you can't push the pipe into the ground by hand, lay a spare piece of wood on top of the PVC and hit it squarely with a sledgehammer until you reach the desired depth. It may help to spray paint the pipe in 1ft (0.30m) increments so you can tell how deep it is. Bail out the water that's inside of the PVC pipe with a bucket, then use a post-hole digger to remove sand, silt, or mud from the bottom of the pipe. The pipe should be clear down to the bottom. While you can use a pump to clear out the pipe, doing it by hand is safer, since you don't have to have electrical equipment near the water. If the ground is very hard, you may need to rent a mini-excavator. Quick-set concrete, or Quikrete, can be mixed by hand. Pour the concrete mix into a bucket and dig a small hole in the mix, then add in water according to the package directions. The amount of concrete you'll need depends on the size of your project. For a PVC pipe with a diameter of 12in (30cm) and a post of 4in (10cm), estimate about 2 bags of Quikrete per 1ft (0.30m) of height. If your pipe is 18in (46cm) in diameter and your post is 6 inches (15cm), you'll need about 5 bags per 1ft (0.30m). It may be a good idea to rent a concrete mixer for this project. Lower the post into the PVC pipe and push it down into the concrete. By pouring concrete into the pipe first, the post will be more stable when you put it into place. The PVC pipe will keep the water out of the concrete as it cures. Keep working until you fill the PVC pipe all the way to the maximum water line. Work slowly to ensure you don't end up with any air pockets in the concrete. This part of the process will take awhile, so it's probably a good idea to get some friends to help you fill and carry buckets of concrete. You may have some excess pipe at the top. You can cut this off with a reciprocating saw after the concrete dries, if you like. No matter how excited you are about having a pier to lounge on, it's important to let the concrete completely cure before you continue building your structure. After you poured all of that concrete, though, you'll probably be glad to have a couple of days to rest before you start building the framework.
A: Measure the approximate length of the PVC you'll need. Purchase heavy-duty PVC with a diameter of 1218in (3046cm). Drive the PVC pipe 12ft (0.300.61m) into the ground. Remove the water and mud from the pipe with a bucket and post-hole digger. Mix quick-set concrete in buckets according to the package directions. Pour 10in (25cm) of concrete into the pipe, then insert the post. Continue to pour concrete around the post. Repeat for each post, then let the concrete cure for 3-4 days.

Q: your oven to 425F (218C) and grease 2 baking sheets. Spread them out until they are in the shape of an oval and are approximately 6" by 3". You should be able to fit only about 4 "cookie-wafers" on each baking sheet. DO not let them cool, so work quickly, otherwise they'll be too stiff to roll and hard to fix. The filling will become burnt, if you leave them on to bake a few moments longer, and it's a pain to have to rework the chocolate into the cookie again.
A:
Preheat Mix together all the ingredients, until they are all well blended together. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 2 or more hours. Spoon about a tablespoon worth of dough onto one baking sheet. Bake the wafers for 6 minutes. Prepare the inner filling, mixing all those ingredients together. Remove the wafers from the baking sheet, and place them on a clean surface. Drop some of the filling onto the wafer, and make sure to spread the filling until the filling not quite reaches the edges of the wafer. Use a chopstick to roll the wafer&filling pieces up.
