Chipped

Important lesson of the day: Never attempt to strum the guitar for more than an hour if you've got brittle nails.

This popped up in my head during lunchtime, when I happened to want to sweep my fringe from my eye. The stinging sensation prompted me to examine my right index finger. *Gasp* My nail has chipped. Shucks. In future, I shall not be overzealous when it comes to such stuff. After all, I haven't got the habit of playing the guitar for longer than an hour (other than during my lessons in the past), so being overly enthusiastic when trying to master a musical piece can prove malignant to my fingers... and nails.
