Glitzy Purple

These days, I'm not that obsessed with nail polish anymore.  It probably took me two years to get over my obsession.  I used to paint my nails monthly, but now I wait for the polish to naturally fall off.  And yes, I may indulge in a little nail art, but at the moment I stick to just glitters.  
My obsession probably stopped this summer.  Because I worked in the hospital, and had to constantly wash my hands, my nails became super dry.  The situation became so horrible that my nails would breaking off in layers, leaving them to be brittle.  I knew nail polish would not help and acetone would only make everything worse, so I just had to patiently wait for them to grow out.  Basically, I waited the whole summer because even though my nails grew out, they would keep breaking off again, since I often washed them.  Now that summer is over, I got switched to a different section in the hospital, which still requires hand washing, but not as much, so my nails are healthy again.
Moral is I'm over painting intricate art on my nails every month.  I'm sticking to pre-packaged polishes or stickers.  Here's my latest color:

The colors are coming off much more dull in this picture either because of the quality or lighting.

I used Revlon Passion Fruit scented nail polish and Salley Hansen Xtreme Wear in Rockstar Pink.

Sophomore Life

Wow!  I still can't get used to saying I'm a sophomore.   Sometimes, I still feel like a freshmen.  
I started school two weeks ago, and already had a load of test and quizzes.  I'm taking my time adjusting to my workload and classes, but it usually takes about a month for me to get a feel for a class. With the number of APs I'm taking, I would think I'd be bogged down with more homework, but that's probably because I'm barely half a month into the school year, and most clubs and the my sport haven't even started for me yet.  However, Key Club has started from the very first day.  Last year, I signed up to be a board member of Key Club, and now, I'm chair of the Community sector.  I've had to contact a number of different organizations, and scheduling out times and dates for Key Club members to volunteer really tests my organizational skills. As for other clubs, I'll probably be joining Science Olympiad and Study Buddies.  And during the winter season, I really hope to be trying out for the swim team, so I have a lot on my plate to look forward to.  I'm continuing to volunteer at the hospital and library, and in the free time that I have, I garden, read, and blog!
