article: To start polishing your petrified wood, you need to remove any scratches from the wood's surface. Start with stronger grit pads of 50, 120, or 150. You can purchase these at a hardware store. Rub down the wood gently, targeting any scratches or uneven portions. Make sure to rub out any uneven areas, as this will leave your wood looking shinier and softer when you're done. Make sure you have a good grasp on the wood when you're sanding it. If you have a clamping device, use that to secure the wood. Wipe off any residue from the wood after sanding it. Examine the wood very closely for any lingering scratches or rough patches. Use your grit paper to remove any scratches you missed the first time around. It helps to work in a room with good lighting so you can easily see any scratches. Use a finer grit pad to add a polish to your wood. Opt for a pad of 400, 800, 1800, or 3500 grit. The higher the number, the more luster you'll add to your wood. Gently rub down the wood with your finer grit pad until the wood is at your desired level of shininess. If you want very shiny petrified wood, you can use a grit pad of 8500. This is an extremely fine grit pad and will result in very shiny wood.

article: Write down several notes on tiny sheets of paper and roll them into tiny tubes. During the course of the test, remove the eraser from the pencil and retrieve your notes. It may help to bring additional lead to give the illusion that you are replacing the lead in your pencil. Make sure to dispose of the notes in your pocket or in the trash so that no evidence is left behind. Write notes on a small strip of paper similar as you would when trying to hide them inside of a mechanical pencil. Roll the paper up and place it loosely in the cap of the pen. During the course of the test, remove the cap as though you are deep in thought and retrieve your notes.  If you pack the notes too tightly into the cap, you’ll have greater trouble retrieving them, which can draw attention to your cheating ways! Place the note and cap on the butt end of the pen to allow more room for the paper. Using multiple pens will give you space for more notes. Write out any notes or answers to questions ahead of time on small pieces of paper. Place the paper in your pencil case (or other similar cases, such as an eyeglass case). You can retrieve the notes by pretending you need to grab an additional pencil or eraser from your pencil case during the test.. Clear, soft plastic pencil cases, such as those that are zipped closed, allow you to see your notes without needing to open the pencil case. Place the pencil case somewhere on the floor where you can see it easily. If you have an eraser that features paper sleeves, remove the sleeve and write your notes on the inside. During the test, remove the sleeve as though you need to use a larger portion of the eraser, and carefully arrange the sleeve so that the answers are visible.  Light colored erasers can be written on directly, either with ink or lead. This is a great place to write down simple short answers or facts, as the answers can later be rubbed off. The eraser sleeve may need to be disassembled to allow easy writing. If this is the case, you can adhere it back on the eraser with a small amount of tape or glue.

Avoid oversharing to prevent others from feeling uncomfortable. Speak at a normal volume to communicate clearly and effectively. Don't repeat words or actions over and over. Pay attention to the tone of your voice and what it might convey."

People are probably going to get annoyed if you make everything about you. If you have exciting news or something cool to share that adds to the conversation, you do not have to hold it in. But try to give other people a chance to contribute to and lead conversations.  Don't automatically resort to chattering about yourself when a conversation stalls. Instead, try asking other people questions about themselves and really listen to their answers. For example, you might say something like, "You've mentioned before that you like K-pop music. Do you have a favorite band?" You might say to a friend, "Tell me about your weekend—I'm dying to know how your date with Elliot went!" It's easy to irritate someone if you interrupt them when they're in the middle of a sentence. Interrupting basically communicates to them that you have no interest in what they're saying, or that what you want to say is more important. Let people complete their sentences before contributing to the conversation.  It can help to pause for a few seconds to make sure they're finished before you share your thoughts. No one appreciates being interrupted, but it can get you into real trouble if you habitually interrupt a teacher, boss, or other authority figure. It is totally normal to vent and share negative things sometimes, especially with close friends, but if every sentence out of your mouth is a complaint or negative, people may start to avoid you. Also, constant negative commentary at work or in other group situations tends to create a toxic environment for everyone. Try to look on the bright side and spread positivity instead of negativity! For example, instead of saying, "Ugh, they're serving that disgusting meatloaf in the cafeteria again today," you might say, "Good thing the cafeteria is serving pumpkin pie today. Delicious pie will help us all forget about that meatloaf!" Sharing detailed information about your personal life can make others really uncomfortable, especially coworkers and acquaintances. Depending on what you're sharing, your friends might also get pretty annoyed! Avoid telling people intimate details about your love life or physical health unless you know them well.  For example, if your coworker asks you how your weekend went, you probably shouldn't respond with a monologue about your hemorrhoid flare up. Something like, "I was actually feeling pretty under the weather this weekend," will suffice. Don't describe every gory detail of the horror movie you watched last night while your best friend tries to eat her lunch. It's fine to raise your voice for effect while telling a story or to whisper in a quiet room, but people get really annoyed if you constantly speak at maximum volume or habitually mumble. Match the volume of your voice to those around you and try not to talk over them. If you tend to speak too softly or mumble, work on enunciating and projecting your voice. Doing this might seem cute or funny at first, but constantly repeating the same words or actions (such as making inappropriate sounds or repeating a phrase) is going to get on people's nerves. If a person asks you to stop doing what you're doing, listen to them! If you continue without stopping, you might lose a friend.  Do not mimic other people or repeat their words back to them for no reason. Say something once unless they ask you to repeat it. Even if your words are thoughtful and important, your tone of voice may indicate frustration, crankiness, or a condescending attitude. You may not even realize you are being cranky, but things like being tired or stressed can make you that way. If you notice people around you reacting, take a moment to check your tone. Try to speak in a respectful tone and phrase things in a positive manner.
