Scrambling to get ready in the morning does not help you to feel organized for the day. To avoid a last minute scramble, put everything in your backpack the night before school, fix your lunch the night before, and set out your outfit the night before.  Getting ready the night before will also allow you to have a little more sleep in the morning. Fewer things to do in the morning means less time you need to get ready to go. Make getting ready for the next day a habit, just like the habit of brushing your teeth before bed. Don't go to bed for the night until everything is organized for the next day. It can be very tempting to hit the snooze button on your alarm or sleep for just a few more minutes in the morning when you are very sleepy. However, if you want to have an organized day, it's important to give yourself enough time in the morning so you can get all the things you need to do done.  For example, waking up with plenty of time to eat breakfast is very important. Skipping breakfast in exchange for a few more minutes of sleep will not serve you well for the rest of the morning. Don't underestimate how much time it takes for you to get ready. If you are rushed to get to school, then you will have a harder time settling into your day once you get there. It is hard to be organized and calm when you are rushing to school every morning. Being on time to school in an unrushed way is one of the most important things you can do to start your day off in an organized way. If you are having a hard time getting to school because of other people, like your ride is always late, consider trying to change your means of transportation. Perhaps instead of getting a ride you could ride your bike, so that you can leave your home when you need to to get to school on time.

For a triangle with sides a, b and c, the perimeter P is defined as: P = a + b + c. What this formula means in simpler terms is that to find the perimeter of a triangle, you just add together the lengths of each of its 3 sides. In this example, the length of side a = 5, the length of side b = 5, and the length of side c = 5. This particular example is called an equilateral triangle, because all three sides are of equal length.  But remember that the perimeter formula is the same for any kind of triangle. In this example, 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.  Therefore, P = 15. In another example, where a = 4, b = 3, and c=5, the perimeter would be: P = 3 + 4 + 5, or 12. If the sides of the triangle are measured in centimeters, then your answer should also be in centimeters.  If the sides are measured in terms of a variable like x, your answer should also be in terms of x. In this example, the side lengths are each 5cm, so the correct value for the perimeter is 15cm.

One-sentence summary -- Remember the formula for finding the perimeter of a triangle. Look at your triangle and determine the lengths of the three sides. Add the three side lengths together to find the perimeter. Remember to include the units in your final answer.


The doctor will place one of their hands vertically between your eyes, and then shine the light directly into one of your pupils to check your eyes' alignment. The hand placement ensures that the light doesn’t cause the pupil of your second eye to dilate while the doctor is testing your first eye. You may experience minor discomfort from the bright pen light during this procedure. However, the light won’t harm your eye. Don’t avert your eyes from the light, and let your pupils dilate naturally. The optometrist needs to observe your pupil dilation. If your pupils do not dilate, or if they constrict slowly, there may be a problem with one or both of your optic nerves. The doctor will keep their hand held vertically between your eyes, and shine the penlight into your other pupil. As with your first eye, they'll look to make sure that your pupil dilates fully. Once the visual reflex exam is complete, you can ask the doctor if your eyes dilated as expected.

One-sentence summary -- Allow the optometrist to shine a penlight into your eye. Look straight ahead into the light. Repeat the process with your other eye.


H-harnesses have a strap that runs along the underside of the cat's chest between the front legs, in addition to the loops and the straight piece that a figure-eight harness has. If the loops of your H-harness are attached by two straight pieces on opposite sides of the loop, then you have a harness with a back strap and a chest strap. It is easy to identify the back strap because it is always shorter than the chest strap. Find the short strap (back strap) and hold this. Now slip the cat's head through the smaller loop. Unbuckle the large loop and you'll find one half of the loop forms a large D shape with the chest strap. Simply feed the front leg on the same side as the D, through the space within so that leg is enclosed. Feed the remaining long length of strap under the cat's chest and up the other side, and fasten the buckle. A good fit on a H-harness means that the harness is snug but loose enough to allow you to insert two to three fingers between the harness and the cat. It is typical, and important, that you spend some time adjusting the fit of a harness the first time you put it on. Use the sliding adjusters to change the size of the loops until you are satisfied the harness is fitting correctly. You want your cat to get so used to the harness that it forgets it's wearing it. Remember that not all cats will adjust to wearing a harness, so if your cat really puts up a struggle decide whether you have the time and patience for this kind of training.  To aid your cat's comfort, also let your cat sniff the harness and be around it for awhile before trying it on. This will make the cat more comfortable. Now you are ready to attach the lead to the harness and off you go!

One-sentence summary --
Orient yourself with how the H-harness fits onto the cat. Place the harness on your cat. Check the fit of the harness. Let your cat adjust to wearing the harness.
