In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you have found a good beginner’s pointe class, go to the store and buy your pointe shoes. Talk to a salesperson at the store and ask for assistance.  Make sure that your pointe shoes fit your feet snugly. They should make your feet look long and thin. If you have soft arches, make sure that the shoe you get has a soft shank. Some good shoes for people with soft arches are Capezio, Mirella, and Bloch Sonata. If you have strong arches, you should try Grishko and Russian Pointe. Don’t buy the shoes online. Pointe shoes are extremely hard to fit, and you should take at least a half hour with the salesperson to find the right fit. Don’t try to purchase shoes in a larger size, expecting that you will grow into them. The shoes should fit perfectly and be slightly difficult to put on. Once you have found a good pair of pointe shoes, go and check with your instructor. Do whatever your instructor says. If you need to go get different ones, go get different ones. Your instructor’s discretion is the most important information you can get for your safety and comfort. If possible, have your teacher come with you to buy your first pair. Break in the shoes correctly. A good way to break in your pointe shoes is to use your hands and roll through the arch. Try to break them in with your hands first, at home, before you wear them into the studio. Normally your teacher will show you how to sew them, but if he/she does not, then look up videos on YouTube. Note: some brands, such as Gaynor Mindens, do not require breaking in. Do research before attempting any type of method on your shoes.  As important as it is to break in the shoes, don't overdo it until you are experienced with pointe shoes. Never break in your shoes sickled or it is just a wasted pair of pointe shoes. Don’t use gel pads for beginning with. You need to feel the floor. Instead, use a thin foam, wool, or fabric padding.
Summary: Purchase the correct shoes. Listen to your instructor. Prepare your pointe shoes for dancing.

The worst thing you can be is stubborn. Understand that she is her own person and that you can't push anything on her. Let her make her own decisions without constantly disagreeing with them. For example, if she wants to get a tattoo and you really don't like tattoos try to be open about it. Maybe you'll end up thinking it is very attractive. When you're in a very intimate relationship it can be easy to find yourself getting frustrated or being less patient than you normally would be. Never snap at the person. For example, if you find yourself getting in a fight make sure you stay calm and civil to make it more of a debate than a fight. Don't yell at her. You can always find a middle ground. You don't have to be a pushover, but be willing to bend your stance if it helps the relationship. If you really care about her this shouldn't be difficult. Try to be easy going.  For example if she really wants to see one movie and you want to see a different one, ask her if she might be willing to see the movie you want to see next weekend if you watch hers this weekend. Even if you disagree about one topic, don't be afraid to ask her opinions about different topics. Not only will you get to know her better, but you'll also show that you still really value her opinion even if you don't agree about that one subject. If you are going to stick to your guns and continue to disagree with your girlfriend, make sure you do it in a respectful and nice way. Say something like, “well I don't know, I still think what I think – but you have made some really good points that I'll have to consider.”

One-sentence summary -- Keep an open mind. Don't be hateful. Compromise. Ask her opinions about other things. Respectfully disagree.

Problem: Article: If you can remember more of your dream, you are better able to analyze it. You can increase your chances of remembering your dream by taking a few extra minutes both to go to sleep and to wake up. If you allow yourself to wake up gradually, you're less likely to startle the dream out of your head. Dream memories are fleeting, and almost always dissipate unless you catch them early on. As soon as you awake, take a pen and jot down whatever you can remember, whether it's a colour, shape, or feeling. Every little detail will help you to make better sense of your dream. When you wake up, you won't have long to catch your dream memories before they fade away. Having a pen and paper at your bedside will give you the fastest way possible to get your thoughts onto paper. When you wake up, try to get the main symbols in your dream down on paper so they don't disappear from your mind. You can write them or draw them, whatever is easiest for you. Obviously, you dreamed about a doll, but think about what else you saw.  What other symbols showed up? Were other people there? Just try to get down the main ideas right now. The emotional impact of the dream is often more important than the visual symbols in your dream. As you write down the details of your dream, think about the emotions that accompanied it. Did you feel upset when you woke up? Did the dream make you happy or anxious? Try to identify what you're feeling upon waking, and write those thoughts down, too. Now that you've got the main ideas down, fill in the details. The details are any extra things you can think of that happened in the dream but weren't necessarily the main focus of the dream. The details can help put the symbols you see into context.  For example, think about the setting. Was it night or day? Did you notice anything else in the dream that you may have left out? Maybe a particular color stood out to you, or maybe you saw a recurring flower. Just try to fill in as much as you can.
Summary:
Don't spring out of bed. Write down everything as soon as you wake up. Keep a pen and paper at your bedside. Write the main picture down. Reflect upon whether the dream was positive or negative. Fill in other important details.
