32 beads

sometimes i get really dragged down about being in school the 2nd time around, but then i try something new or meet someone new and it all becomes worth it.

yesterday was relay for life at school and this was my first year participating. and i have to say it was totally worth it. the genius idea of stringing on a bead every time you finish a lap was brilliant. despite the torrential downpour (which resulted in some fun bonding time with the staff as we holed up in the leaky tent) i finished 32 laps (barefoot no less) and it couldn't have been a more worthwhile experience. so go try something new!
