A major part of being cute is acting innocent, because cuteness is something associated with things that are childlike, harmless, and sweet. There are lots of ways you can act innocent and sweet, including: Don't swear or tell dirty jokes Chew gum and blowing bubbles Play with your hair Be silly To be cute, one of the most important things you can do is be personable and fun. Being angry, frustrated, or defensive isn't cute, so work on being kind and friendly. Say hello to people you know when you see them, and introduce yourself to new people when you meet. Ask people about themselves, and listen to their answers. For instance, when you run into an acquaintance, you can say, "Hi! I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?" Be generous with compliments. For instance, if you love a friend's new haircut, say, "Your hair looks incredible! It really brings out your eyes." Don't cross your arms when you're in a crowd, because this can make you look defensive and unapproachable. One of the easiest ways you can be friendly and cute is to smile a lot when you're around other people. Most people know how to smile with their mouths, but you can also smile with your eyes and your whole face: Start by thinking about something that makes you happy. When you have that happy feeling, narrow your eyes slightly without moving the other muscles of your face. Smile ever so slightly with your mouth by turning up the corners of your mouth. This combination of expressions will give the impression that you are cheery, friendly, and easy to talk to. This means spending time with other people and being fun to be around. You can be sociable by going to parties and get-togethers when you're invited, organizing and hosting your own social events, talking to people when you're out, and keeping up old friendships and making new ones. You don't have to attend every social event you're invited to, but try to make an appearance at as many as you can manage without cutting into family time, work, school, and other obligations. If you haven't talked to your friends in a while, call or text them to keep in touch and ask how they've been. Make an effort to make friends with new people too. You can do this by inviting them out with you, getting to know them, and finding common interests.

Summary: Act innocent and sweet. Be approachable. Smile often with your eyes and mouth. Be sociable.

The Haab calendar is one Maya method of counting time. It is roughly based on the solar cycle, and so it is relatively recognizable to users of the Gregorian calendar. "Haab" itself translates as "year." Each haab has 18 months (uinals) of 20 days. This makes a Haab of 360 days, or one tun. In addition, each haab has one month of 5 days (Wayeb). Together, this makes 365, which approximates the solar year (365 days). A tun is also called a vague year, since it only approximates the solar yearit does not include the day or a leap day every four years, like the Gregorian calendar does. Each 20-day uinal and the 5-day month Wayeb are counted beginning with day 0 and ending with day 19 or 4, respectively. The 19 months of the Haab calendar, in order, are: Pop Wo Sip Sotz Sak Xul Yaxkin Mol Chen Yax Sak Keh Mak Kankin Muwan Pax Kayab Kumku Wayeb The Tzolkin calendar has 20 days. These days cycle 13 times in a Tzolkin year, which differs from a Haab calendar year. Each day for each cycle has an attached number running 1-13. This makes for a total year length of 260 days. Scholars do not know why the cycle is 260 days. Some believe this length is related to agricultural cycles, others to the movement of heavenly bodies (such as the planet Venus), and others to the human gestational period. Each day in the Tzolkin cycle has a sacred significance (honoring a particular god, for instance), and a unique name. The days are (in order): Imix Ik Akbal Kan Chicchan Kimi Manik Lamat Muluk Ok Chuwen Eb Ben Ix Men Kib Caban Etznab Kawak Ajaw Most Maya dates are expressed as a combination of the Haab and Tzolkin calendars. The two form an interlocking system known as a calendar round, forming long cycles between repetitions of each date. The complete calendar round contains 52 repetitions of 365 days (18,980 days). This creates combination dates such as 4 Ajaw 3 Kankin and 7 Manik 10 Kankin. The Maya calendar also has larger cycles for reckoning spans of time that are longer than 52 years. The specific name of this calendar is not known, so archaeologists refer it to simply as the "Long Calendar." This calendar has a cycle totaling 5125 1/3 years. The Long Calendar represents five cycles of time, similar to how the Gregorian calendar represents days, months, years, centuries, and millennia. The five cycles are: Kin, or days Uinal (each uinal is equivalent to 20 kin/days) Tun (each tun is equivalent to 18 uinal, or 360 days) Katun (each katun is equivalent to 20 tun or 7200 days) Baktun (each baktun is equivalent to 20 katun, or 144,000 days)

Summary: Learn the divisions of the Haab calendar. Count using the months of the Haab calendar. Count using the Tzolkin calendar. Reckon using the days of the Tzolkin calendar. Put the Haab and Tzolkin Calendars together to make a whole date or calendar round. Use the Long Calendar for greater spans of time.

These handheld tools allow you to reach right against the edge of the wall. If using an orbital sander, you probably already reached the walls. In this case, you can skip this section, and remove the finish at the corners with any handheld sander. For this small remaining area, you may be able to skip some of the steps you used on the whole floor. That said, you will need to start with a coarse grit to remove the old finish. Move the edge sander back and forth along the wall in small triangular movements. This is less likely to leave marks than a side-to-side motion. Most tools are designed so moving right (clockwise) along the wall is easier than the other direction. You can now skip straight to 80-grit sandpaper. Sand carefully until the edge matches the rest of the floor. If you want to finish with 100-grit sandpaper, you'll need special techniques to avoid burning the floor and paper. You'll need a sander with a slow speed setting, and preferably an "open coat" sandpaper. Your floor is now ready to be stained and/or waxed. Try to keep dirt, abrasives, and heavy objects off the floor until it is finished.
Summary: Use an edge sander. Start with 36-grit. Sand in a clockwise zigzag pattern. Repeat with finer sandpaper. Vacuum up the dust.
