once you go black...

Today was a weird day. Every thing about today was just... off. But I got to talk to my lovely friend, Noelle and it was excellent even though it was such a short conversation. I'm trying to make a better effort of keeping in touch with the people I want to stay close to. If you are one of them, I'm sorry I've been so distant. I'm realizing that while I am at school, I am in this little comfortable bubble. It's easy to forget how much I miss and need my other friends. But those people that I love so much are still so important to me and I guess I fail in that friendship if I don't keep in touch, right? So that is another one of my goals, being better at keeping in touch. That reminds me... I need to buy stamps.

Speaking of goals.. there is this website called 43things.com and I love it. Basically the way it works is that you choose a list of goals that you have for yourself. It's really interesting because you network with other people through the goals that you choose. For example... my current list comprises 33 "things" including novel things like "learn to swing dance" and "take crazy pictures with someone is a photobooth." These are goals I share with 1,004 and 150 people respectively. More of my serious goals include "Move to New York City", and "Go back to Guatemala". After you complete a goal you go back to the website and log it. I really enjoy reading about people who accomplished their goals (or the trials of those who quit). The three that I have been able to finally mark as "I've Done This!" are "work at a camp", "ride the subway", and "go skiing." Anyway, It's a cool website and I encourage you to check it out.

I just painted my fingernails black... hence the title. I decided to go with black mostly just because was bored. And I usually go with pale. It's a new season so I might as well mix it up, right? Speaking of Fall, I will just have to save my excitement of this new season for a new post.

I got this picture today from one of my campers from my very favorite week at camp:
