Nose piece melts

Sorry about the absolutely disgusting glasses but I'm gonna forget if I don't ask now, does anyone have a chronic melting nosepiece problem? I go through nose pieces like every four months. I think it's because I wear sunscreen and wear them outside, is there a solution or should I keep buying nose pieces? I'm okay with either I love my pit vipers but it would be fun to try any suggestions! Also the lines in the nosepiece are like.. melted into it, the grooves on the new nose pieces rub my skin off so I melted the surface to make it smoother lol

Starting over again on ppl, nervous

I just got let go by an independent instructor and before that I was at a flight school for like two years. I'm doing a discovery flight at a brand new flight school tomorrow and I'm definitely feeling some type of way, I just have zero people to talk to about it. More than anything I'm embarrassed that I've had 8 instructors and just hit over 100 hours. I just did one of my solo xcs. I have everything but like five hours of solo time left and checkride prep. I'm not going to the airlines, so it's not like a huge deal that it's taking forever but I'm really ashamed of where I'm at. This last instructor letting me go wasn't even really my fault, this flight school didn't have any planes available for over six months and every time I booked one it would go down for a 100 hour or some grounding issue. Which is fine, I understand that, but I don't like just waiting and wishing for a plane to be operable. So I'm trying a brand new place and I'm really nervous. Maybe I'm excited too? I haven't been excited about flying in awhile but I think this might be my golden ticket. I hope it is. I don't even remember why I started flying at this point. I want to finish it so I have something to say for the years I've been trying to get this thing done.
