 Let me now tell you about what may be the most exciting way of rubbing mint for students. Keep in mind that although this specific mint rubbing procedure might have a minor impact on your social life, but the benefits (and i mean the raw excitement) derived from it are far greater than any tiny inconveniences you might experience. But enough babble, on to the action. What you have to do is just follow these simple steps: 1. As this mint rubbing technique can only be practiced during a certain time of the year, you, of course, have to wait for that period. Which is, the beginning of "The Session". If The Session has not yet started, you should quit reading this guide, but put it in a place where you could clearly see it later, when the time is near (The Session begins). If it has started, read right on... 2. If you don't have "LARGE quantities of mint"(tm), go to your nearest Tea&Herbs Shop and buy "LARGE quantities of mint"(tm). Store the mint in a cool, dry place... 3. Continue to the end of the day by rubbing some mint, not too much though, as you might not have sufficient then, and you know you have to be ready for the dark days ahead. Go to sleep, as your REAL schedule will start the next day! You might want to rub a little more mint before going to bed, just enough to make you feel comfortable with yourself and your activities over the past day. NOW, the next steps should be practiced regularly, each and every day, and i guarantee 100% of excitement and satisfaction as soon as you have your first exam. 4. Wake up, wash up, have breakfast. Take some mint out of your deposits (if you are still not clear about the deposits of mint you should posess, see step 2) and start rubbing it gently. As you begin to feel comfortable with it, get some more mint and rub it too. (Alternatively, you could turn on the television or computer and rub some mint while watching a cool movie or playing). Continue rubbing the mint until high noon. 5. Go out and have lunch. During lunch make sure you rub as much mint as you can. Engaging in stupid and boring conversations with other people might help. 6. Now that you've had lunch (and rubbed a considerable quantity of mint in the process), return to your room. Take some more mint from your stock and start rubbing it. Some activities that might help you rub it more efficiently include: taking a nap, staring out the window, having a smoke or surfing the net. Be sure to rub mint at all times. 7. As evening falls, it's time for your collective mint-rubbing. Get more mint from your deposits, get together with some friends and start rubbing it together. Going out and having a beer should help a lot. Alternatively you could try rubbing mint with your girlfriend/boyfriend, although this could prove expensive for your mint reserves. 8. As it gets late, you should have supper. Now comes what may be the most enjoyable mint rubbing period of the day. Make sure that you have a fair quantity of mint at your disposal, take a seat in front of the tv and start rubbing it. You may find that tv game-shows, talk-shows and tele-shopping programs are among the most efficient at helping you rub mint successfully. Keep on rubbing until you feel sleepy. 9. Well, it is now time to go to sleep. Before you do that, check your mint reserves. If you have enough to last you another day, jump on to step 11. Else jump to step 10. 10. Actually, this step was intented to be "step 3.5+10.5", as in "before of step 4, but after step 3, with relation to step 10 but before step 11", but as i was rubbing mint all through this guide, i must have mixed the up. If you don't understand a word i'm saying it's ok, i'm just rubbing mint, and so are you. Anyway, if you don't have enough mint to last you another day, you should get up early the next day and go to your nearest Tea&Herbs Shop and get supplies. Get truckloads of mint, so you don't have to do it every day. Now jump to step 11. 11. This concludes your day. You might have noticed that no school related activities were mentioned here. I did this with a purpose in mind, namely that they would distract you from perfecting your mint rubbing techniques and hence would impede your getting better at mint rubbing and completing this step-by-step process. So this is the end of the day, now go to sleep and jump back to step 1, following the procedure step by step the next day. Well, this is it. Note that the first results will be felt within days, but you will feel the most excited on the eve of your first exam and, if you continue (and i'm sure you will), you will feel this excitement again and again, before each and every exam left. And you will gain the status of proffessional mint rubber too! If you have any suggestions on perfecting this technique please mail me (aghiutza@yahoo.com) and i will test them and report back to you. Happy mint rubbing! (aghiutza@yahoo.com) | |
