I have always had a problem saying no if I am afraid that I may hurt someone's feelings. It is something I really should work on and is surprising given my usual brutal honesty. However, I have done it again.
All of the women here dye their nails with a natural dye made from certain leaves. I was working with a paramedic yesterday that had her hands dyed and was telling her I liked it and inquiring, out of curiosity, about the process. Well, next thing I know Jasim and I were on a rickshaw to her house. I thought we were just going over to say hello, but when we arrived she had fingernail polish remover (to take off my beautiful manicure that had lasted over a week) and everthing ready to go. She was so excited that I just went with it. Now, the tips of my fingers are bright orange as are my palms. What have I done!? It may last MONTHS!!!
I can only imagine what everyone at Cornell with think if it is still there in July!!!
