Article: It’s easy to get wrapped up in daily life at school. Since you won’t see your guy everyday, make sure to schedule time for each other after school or on weekends. Work out your other commitments so that you get to see him at least once a week, if not more. Having a plan to see each other will give you something to look forward to and make the relationship exciting.  Try setting aside a specific time to see each other. For example you can plan to meet up on Saturday afternoons. If this doesn’t work for your busy schedule, you can make fun plans as time allows. If your relationship is  long distance, consider booking bus or plane tickets far in advance. Ideally, you will see each other as often as possible, but that can be challenging if your schools are many miles apart. Reserve seats in advance to lower the cost of transportation. Make your dates special. Since you might not see each other often, do something special. Bring a him a present or dress up for date night. If his school is close to yours, try meeting him on a day you are both free after school. Text him to see if he is available (or surprise him!), and meet for an after school snack. Consider meeting up after school regularly. You could take turns going to see each other a couple of times per week. You probably don’t need to bring him with you for a normal day of class, but find out if he can attend a school event. Dances, fairs, and shows are great opportunities for you to get to know each other’s friends and school environment. If you live in the same area, join a club or take a class together. Not only will you learn something new, you'll be spending time with him. This is a good way to explore common interests and develop a stronger relationship.  Find a new hobby. You don’t have to join an organized group. Try going on hikes or playing a game of tennis. Volunteer. Volunteering is  nice way to give back while spending time together. Check out a local animal shelter or community garden. Learn about his family, friends, and school life. Cultivate genuine interest in what he does when you are not together. Remember to volunteer information of your own as well. Allow him to get to know you by introducing him to important people in your life.  Attend important events together. Invite him to family gatherings and birthday parties. Ask each other interesting questions that let you learn more about the other person. For example, “What is the scariest thing you’ve ever done?” As long as you don’t get distracted, studying together is a nice way to get schoolwork done and spend time together. Go to the library during final exams or try having homework sessions during the week. You might be able to help each other with homework if you take the same subjects.

Article: Topical ointments like Oragel, Cepacol, and other products that contain benzocaine are great for numbing pain for a short amount of time. Press a dry cloth onto the affected area, then apply a numbing topical anesthetic. The dry cloth will help ensure the ointment gets absorbed efficiently without getting washed away by saliva. While it’s only a temporary fix, it’ll provide fast comfort for acute pain. Keep in mind that topical anesthetics will not last for more than an hour or so because the saliva washes the substance away. Mix one cup of warm water with one teaspoon of salt until the salt as dissolved. Gently swish the rinse around your mouth, then spit. While it’s not too helpful for deeper jaw pain associated with impacted teeth, it’ll alleviate surface swelling and damaged oral tissue that results when wisdom teeth erupt, or break through the gum surface. Cloves are a home remedy that might be able to help tooth pain. Use a cotton swab or ball to apply clove oil to the affected area, and you should experience a gentle, warm, numbing sensation. Try placing a whole clove onto the affected area if you have them handy and as long as the clove’s shape doesn’t cause any discomfort. If the tooth is not sensitive to cold, then you can also try placing a gauze wrapped ice cube on the area of your wisdom tooth that hurts. Leave it on for about 5 to 10 minutes to numb the area and then remove it for a while. Repeat as needed. It’s important to visit a dentist to see if the tooth is infected, is coming in on a bad angle, doesn’t have enough room to grow in, is pushing other teeth out of the way, or is causing any damage to your jaw or other parts of your mouth. If any of these apply, it’s possible that you’ll need to have your tooth or teeth extracted. It is also possible that a simple removal of the covering gum will make the pain go away as soon as the next day.

Use topical anesthetics. Use mouth rinses. Try clove oil or whole cloves. Use ice. See a dentist.
Article: Look over your sculpture and think about the different materials that would make up that object in real life (flesh, hair, fabric, stone, grass, fur, etc). On your original sketch or on an entirely new one, map out what textures go where. Do some research. Look at lots of pictures of those types of textures to figure out how they work. You'd be surprised how complex it can be. Fur, for example, grows in chunks and you'll have to pay attention to the length, organization, and direction of every chunk. Begin to texture your sculpture, one section at a time, using traditional or improvised tools. Only a very limited number of sculpting tools are needed and most can be improvised from common household objects. You will have to experiment to find out what works best for you, as almost every sculptor uses their tools differently.  Generally with sculpting tools, large tips are used to create the broad details, while finer tips are used to create details. Scoop-like tools create rounded areas. Tools with a loop are used to scrape away the material. Anything with a sharp edge can be used to cut. Tools can be improvised from: balls of tin foil, black peppercorn, toothpicks, x-acto knives, a toothbrush, a steel ball chain necklace, a comb, knitting needles, crochet hooks, large and small sewing needles, cookie cutters, melon ballers, etc. Once you're done with all of the major clay work, you'll need to cure your sculpture to make it hard (if you want it hard...if not, ignore). Different clays need to be cured in different ways (air dry, bake, etc), so follow the manufacturer's instructions for the clay you use. It is generally better to under-bake (use a low temperature for longer periods of time, if you can), to avoid burning.
