Problem: Article: When we get a bad grade and we're not used to it, we panic. We think we've lost our smarts, our focus, our mojo. But that's just not the case most of the time. Everyone can slip up from time to time. In fact, it's the mistakes we make in life that really teach us who we are and how to do even better the next time. Don't panic because panicking will cause stress, and stress doesn't make for good grades. One recent study found that students who stressed over big exams actually did worse than those who stay calm. Your academic career is made up of lots of different tests, not just the tests you take in class or the presentations that you give. Your academic career depends on the relationships you make with your teachers; the impact that you make on other friends; and most importantly, the stuff you learn. Judging the success of your academic career by only looking at a single grade is like judging the success of a party after only a single guest has arrived. It's not an accurate guess. Make sure the teacher didn't make a mistake in counting the points or arriving at a grade. Remember, even math teachers make counting mistakes! If you do happen to find a mistake, double check that it's actually a mistake and then find a time when you can talk to your teacher. Instead of accusing them of making a mistake "You made a mistake on my test, I want my grade changed immediately!" try to be more understanding. Remember that you get more bees with honey than you do with vinegar. Try something like: "I noticed that the numbers don't add up here. Am I missing something?" You probably won't feel bad about getting a C or a D if everyone else in the class got a C, because C was the benchmark. Still, be careful about finding out other people's grades they may not want to share, or they may want to know yours in exchange. If your teacher grades "on the curve", the grade that you get will take into account the grades everyone else got. So if the highest grade on a test was a C, then a C might become an A and a D might become a B-.
Summary: Let your panic pass quickly. Remind yourself that one bad grade won't break your academic career. Just to make sure, go over the test and recalculate your points. Carefully figure out what grades other classmates received.

Problem: Article: Since boat shoes are usually made of leather, it will take some time to break them in. Start by wearing them around your house for an hour each day. If they feel fairly comfortable, you can wear them for 2 hours each day. Wear your boat shoes when you plan to be walking around the house rather than sitting at your desk. Your shoes won't break in quickly if you wear them but don't move. Spend the 1 or 2 hours walking around your home. You can also rock back and forth in them so that they can mold to your foot. Once the shoes feel like they've started to break in, increase the amount of time you wear them around the house. Continue to increase the time as they feel more comfortable. Don't wear them out of the house until you feel confident they won't hurt you after a few hours of wear.
Summary: Wear them for 1 hour every day. Walk around in your shoes. Increase the amount of time wearing the shoes each day.

Problem: Article: Regardless of which dog registry you are considering, it is important for you to understand the benefits of dog registration. For example, registering your dog provides valid proof that you are his owner. Obtaining this proof is one of the first steps towards becoming a responsible pet owner. If your dog is purebred, registering him helps ensure that his pedigree remains intact from one generation to the next. Purebred dog registries provide other benefits, such as maintenance of birth records. You can still enjoy the benefits of dog registration even if your dog is not purebred. Registries such as the Dog Registry of America and the National Hybrid Registry accept non-purebred dogs. Remember that registration is not proof of breed quality. This is more applicable if you are looking to purchase a purebred dog, rather than registering your own. If you are only interested in registering your dog for proof of ownership, then getting an Identichip/microchip implanted in your dog is best. If your dog gets lost and is picked up by a rescue, the shelter will scan the chip, pick up the unique number, and be able to reunite the two of you. The three most reputable and well-known all-breed registries in North America are the AKC, the United Kennel Club, and the Canadian Kennel Club. It may be helpful to start your search with these registries to determine if your dog is eligible for registration. The website http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/dogregistry/dogclubsregistries.htm provides a comprehensive list of dog registries for both purebred and non-purebred dogs. If you have a service dog, consider registering him with a service dog registry, such as the United States Service Dog Registry. Some dog breeds are so rare that they are not listed on the more common dog registries. The American Rare Breed Association has a registry for rare dog breeds (e.g., wirehaired Vizsla, miniature American shepherd). There are also breed-specific registries, such as the registry associated with the Australian Shepherd Club of America. Not all dog registries are created equal. Dog registries that primarily cater to puppy mills are not reputable and should be avoided. Also, be suspicious of dog registries that do not require a valid proof of pedigree. Do not use dog registries that require only a photo of your dog as proof of his pedigree. Reputable dog registries are non-profit organizations. Be wary of dog registries that are for-profit companies. Avoid dog registries that do not have a code of ethics or set of standards that registrants must follow. Some online registries may be especially unscrupulous by charging unreasonably high fees or disappearing after receiving your payment. Consider speaking with your veterinarian, other dog owners, or a reputable breeder for recommendations on respectable registries.
Summary: Learn why you should register your dog. Determine where you want to register your dog. Avoid suspicious or non-reputable dog registries.
