Glasses

In case you haven't heard I'm now a glasses wearer!
Here's proof!

They don't look too bad, eh? I can make it work!

So far its been wonderful to be able to see so clearly and so far! In junior high I had reading glasses but they eventually stopped working and merely gave me headaches. Yes, that is in fact a clue that I should have gotten my eyes checked again. Unfortunately, for me it took severe headaches, and failing an eye exam to get me back into the optometrists chair!

An eye exam, more money than I would like, and a week later I am rocking my new glasses. They're designer, can't you tell... Who else has never heard of Ted Baker? I sure as hell haven't.

The changes have been unbelievable. I can read subtitles without squinting, read the clock in my living room, and my depth perception seems better. But, since I'm not used to them and my astigmatisms will make it harder to adjust I currently feel like I'm in a fish bowl. I try to wear them as long as I can push myself and then give my brain a break for a few minutes before putting them back on.

I will master the glasses!

Summer's End

Wow its been nearly a month since I have written! Where did the time go?!
Not much has happened in this last month. I have worked, and worked, and worked, and enjoyed a lovely trip to Hawai'i with my mother.
Work is going well, nothing really to report on that. Today, is my first day off in nearly a week- so my phone is off, and I'm enjoying doing absolutely nothing! Well, other than updating you fine folk!
So now that I've bored you with the talk of work how about my vacation?!
Mom and I had the honor and pleasure of flying to Honolulu for a week to witness a friends wedding and take in the sun, surf, and shopping of Waikiki.
It was thoroughly enjoyable and the fact that it was just Mom and I made it extra special.
Here are some pictures for your enjoyment!

And now for school year news:

Classes begin the 22nd (which is also Mom and Dad's anniversary so send them some love!). I will be taking 16 credits, 5 days a week. 5 classes and a lab. On top of classes (one history, one science, one English, and two teaching classes) I will also continue to work part time at PH. I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew! I'm sure I can manage it, but currently its giving me quite a bit of stress.

I will attempt to write again soon... like next week or the week after. You know, when I get a spare moment?
