INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Purchase any brand of club soda from your local grocery or convenience store. To make the traditional Slurpee that's found at gas stations, it'll be necessary for you to carbonate your drink.  You can experiment with flavored club sodas to see how that will affect the taste of the Slurpee at the end. Remember not to leave the club soda in your freezer for too long or it may freeze. Set a timer to remind you to take it out. Pour half of your club soda into the blender and set the other half aside for later. The other ingredients can be mixed with your club soda in any order.  Maraschino cherry juice can act as an alternative to cherry extract.  You can also use fresh or frozen fruit during this stage to add flavor. Combining the ingredients together will ensure that the Kool-Aid, cherry extract, and sugar are sufficiently mixed. Make sure there are no clumps in your blender from the sugar or Kool-Aid mix. You can use any flavor of Kool-Aid. Choose a flavor that you like best and see how it is in Slurpee form. Mix the drink until it's slushy. Be careful not to blend it so much that the ice melts, and it becomes liquid. It should have a slushy consistency, and the ice should be broken up into little pieces. Chilling your Slurpee will allow it to thicken. Once you remove it, you can stir it with a fork or spoon to loosen it up before drinking. You can put your blender in the freezer or pour out your Slurpee into a glass or cup before putting it into your freezer.

SUMMARY: Chill your club soda for 15 minutes in the freezer. Add one cup of club soda, sugar, Kool-Aid mix, and cherry extract to a blender. Blend on high until your drink is smooth. Add ice and remaining club soda and blend again. Place the Slurpee in your freezer for 15 minutes.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wearing latex or nitrile gloves will protect your hands from the dye. Put on a pair of clean gloves before mixing and applying the dye. You should also put on a hairdresser’s cape or an old shirt to avoid getting dye or developer on your clothes. To protect your bathroom or kitchen counters, spread newspaper out around the sink. Most developer to dye ratios are 1 part hair color to 2 parts developer. Check the ratio on the hair dye package to be sure you are using the recommended amount. If you are not sure about the ratio, don't guess. If you don't mix the right ratio, your hair color may not come out as desired. Ask a professional hair stylist or visit a salon and allow them to dye your hair for you. Combine the correct amounts of developer and hair dye together in a plastic bowl. Mix the developer and dye together using a plastic spoon. Make sure the dye and developer are well combined. Then, apply the mixture to your hair as desired.  If you want to dye all of your hair, then apply the dye to your whole head starting at the ends and working up toward the roots of your hair. If you just want to highlight your hair, you will need to section your hair and apply the dye to specific sections only. You can use foil strips to wrap each section and prevent the dye from getting on the surrounding strands.

SUMMARY: Wear gloves and a hairdresser's cape. Identify the developer to dye ratio on the package. Mix the developer and the dye together.

Try surrounding yourself with friends and getting along with those around you to catch her interest.  Try meeting with your friends just before or after the class starts.  Be somewhere in the class that she can see you and how well you are engaging with your friends. You might try walking into the class with your friends while you are telling a great story. If you want to make a good impression, it's always a good idea to treat others around you well.

Make it a point to show your character by supporting those around you in class.  Try complimenting good ideas that come up in class. Avoid saying anything negative or sarcastic to others. Remember to thank others who help you during class. Always speak supportively and kindly to those around you to help make a good impression. If you want to get the attention of the girl you like, you will need to make yourself stand out during class.  Sitting quietly and taking notes won't get anyone's attention.  It's important to engage the instructor and answer or ask questions to help you stand out and make an impression.  Try not to be a show off during class.  Answering too many questions might make a bad impression. Make sure your questions are actually aimed at furthering the topic under discussion. Don't make inappropriate jokes during the class. Women are generally attracted to men who appear more dominant and confident.  To show how confident you are, you can try to establish your space whenever you are around a girl you like.  Simply taking up whatever space you need can be a good way to get her attention.  When you sit down, feel free to relax and take up whatever space you'd like. For example, you might try extending your arm over an empty chair that you are sitting next to. Stretching your arms up into the air can be a good idea. Try to avoid being too aggressive or obnoxious.  Make yourself comfortable, but not if it means making others uncomfortable. There are few things more attractive than a person who is happy, joyful, and having fun.  Whenever you are near a girl that you like and with some friends, it can be a good idea to be open about how much fun you are having.  People are naturally interested in sharing in good times with others.  Enjoying yourself can be a simple and easy way to make an impression.  Talk about an exciting idea or project you and friend are working on.  Let your enthusiasm show to help catch her attention. Try sharing a joke with your friends before class starts.  Make sure you say it loud enough so she can hear it. Talk with your friends about something exciting you have planned, such as going to a concert or going on a trip. Even though you haven't spoken with the girl you are interested in, you might still learn a few things that she is interested in.  Knowing what she likes can help you steer your conversations and actions in a direction that can make an impression.  You may have noticed that she was reading a book about a certain artist.  You can try asking a question about that artist during your art class to show your interest. Maybe she carries a backpack with her favorite band on it.  You might try bringing up that band's genre during a music history course. Try talking about something you know she likes with your friends during class.

Be the center of attention. Treat others well. Stay active during class. Establish your space. Have fun. Think about what she might like.
