Nails

Even though it is 3:00 in the morning and I have to be up for work in 4 hours, I am doing my nails. I have this nervous habit of destroying my nails during finals and to try to keep from going through the month and a half long recovery period, I am taking some preventative measures. I bought a $10 cuticle trimmer and have been using it at least once a week. I have also painted my nails with some "Hard as Nails" stuff. Last time I painted my nails, I did so with some color too. Painting the nails serves two purposes. First, the strengthening stuff can keep the nails from breaking and second, I can pick the polish off instead of playing with the cuticles.

Tonight I had gone through 3 days of picking off the polish and so my nail color was sporadic. I have to go to work in the morning and the nails have to look semi decent. Hence the 3:00am salon session.

The point of this post was to say how much I hated the vanity involved with legal work. It seems like it is equally, if not more, important to dress nicely than it is to adequately prepare what comes out of your mouth. It disgusts me and is a highly motivating factor for applying to medical school. Scrubs, Baby! Yee-haw!
