Hey everyone!!
So, if you noticed there is an actual title to this blog rather than just what day it is. I have come to the conclusion that maybe I should blog about something specific each day instead of telling you what I did that day. I'm thinking that maybe my days aren't really as interesting as I first imagined. :D
Today I got my first pair of contacts. Yes, I am thirty years old and have not worn contacts until literally today. And I must say, "WHY HAVEN'T I DONE THIS SOONER?!?!?!" As soon as the doctor put them in my eyes I was completely amazed. I could see with no problems at all. No trying to adjust any nose pads or making sure I was secure behind the ears. Nor did I experience any weird feelings in my eyes or headaches. I have been wearing glasses since fourth grade. Heck, I have been wearing my last pair of glasses for the past seven years!
As you can probably tell, this change is a long time coming. And they are amazing! I rode my bike to campus today and when I turned to look behind me I had complete peripheral vision. While I was working out, I was able to do exercises that required me to learn forward without having to make sure to catch my glasses before they slide off my nose. I don't have to push up my glasses to face (although I catch myself doing it still). I can wear sunglasses!!! I haven't ever bought sunglasses because I'm really blind. But now I can get some. I think I will shop for some tomorrow. I'm super psyched! :D
Because of wearing contacts I decided that I should start wearing eye makeup. So, I put some on. But now, I'm thinking that I should go get my eyebrows arched. They grow a little weird and they are kind of thin. Since, I wore glasses I just kind of ignored them. But now I'm very aware of them. Getting those fixed tomorrow. And, instead of studying, I decided to try out my new hot comb and try out straightening my hair. Let's just say it was an adventure and that I should either keep practicing or just hire a professional.
All in all today was a pretty adventurous day for me. You're probably thinking, that's so pathetic. But as you get to know me, you'll see that I'm very easily excitable. This I cannot help. I take lots of pleasure in the little things in life.
Only thing left is once I get off work, hopefully I'll be able to get these out for bed. I guess we'll see how that goes.
Till tomorrow....
