skin cancer... my close enemy

I've always been a pale girl, and I know I'll always stay pale.

Being in the sun is pretty dangerous for my skin, because I'll be sun burned in no time. As a swimmer we spend a lot of time outside in the water. My skin is not used to see that much sun, because I'm from Belgium so I never really have to put sunscreen on there. Every thing changed when I got SMU. My skin is really sensitive for the sun and when I forget to put sun screen on, I'll be a lobster for a few days. The past week, the weather hasn't been that good, but it was nice on Monday afternoon. The coach decided that we were going to practice outside. I didn't put any sunscreen on because I thought I wouldn't need it. After our practice I felt that I was sun burned and it just got worse during the evening. I had to take a picture to show you guys! :)

skin cancer can be caused by many things, one of the things is sun burn, and to be honest, my skin has been sun burned many times so I'm sure that skin cancer is a close enemy for me. Of course I hope that I won't get it. My friends and I are joking about the fact that I'll die of skin cancer but I hope it just stays a joke...
