The fourth week of my first semester back is almost over already, which means that the semester is also a quarter of the way through.  Time is going by so quickly and oddly enough, I’m also enjoying my time at the college.  It’s somewhat ironic that I now look forward to going to college more than I do going to work. 

        Among other things, I suppose the greatest changes in my life since going back to college are that I am trying contacts for the first time, and I also chopped off an entire foot of my hair.  I don’t think the back of my neck has seen this much sunlight since Elementary School.  It’s been a good change, though, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.  As for the contacts, I can’t say that they are going quite as smoothly.  It’s been almost a week and a half, and I think I’ve worn them…maybe…two full days.  I may just be being too picky.  However, I swear that my right eye feels blurry.  I went back to the eye doctor about this problem two days after getting the trial pair of contacts, and there was, in fact, some sort of substance covering both of the lenses.  So I thought, great, there in-lies my problem.  Now I’ll be able to see.   No such luck.  I still feel like there wasn’t any change.  I’m going back today, so I’m trying to stay hopeful.  I’m so tempted, though, to just pick out a pair of new frames.  I love how I look with glasses.  I think it adds a lot to my character. 

        On that note, I suppose I’ll end it here.  Because, quite frankly, I really don’t have much else to say.

 

“Someone please save us, us college kids!

What my parents told me is what I did

They said go to school and be a college kid

But in the end, I question why I did…”
