Through Lenses

That’s how I’m looking at anything I read now - through my reading glasses.  A week ago, I went to the eye doctor who told me that although my eyesight is 20/20, my eyes become tired and strained (which explains all the issues I have after hours of studying and reading for classes).  My mom and I went to pick out the frames and they were done in about an hour.  I spent last week adjusting to them; at first, I would get headaches after about 20 minutes of wearing them.  I’m fine now, though, and they really help.

The LSAT went really well!  It was a 5 hour test (typically a 2 hour, 55 minute test) because I swear, our proctor was illiterate.  Also, a few people in my testing room wrote V E R Y  S L O W L Y, which meant tacking on an extra 5 minutes to everything we had to write or fill out.  I should be hearing back about my score in another week or two.  Funny story though - yesterday I got mail regarding some information I put on my LSAT answer sheet.  Apparently I was so nervous that I wrote my first name completely wrong - changing the first letter from R to E - and my birthdate was off by two days.  I didn’t think I was that nervous, but I suppose I was!

Tom and I have begun to pack up this apartment since we move in mid July.  We spent yesterday afternoon and today packing boxes upstairs and downstairs, filling holes, throwing things away, making a Goodwill pile, and cleaning.  Oh, and we spent a good hour putting the old drapes up.  My apartment has this rule that whatever drapery we have up must be white on the outside.  When I first moved here in May 2006, the drapes (the kind that are on a rod that you pull back and forth - we’re talking DRAPES here, people) were DISGUSTING.  They’re about 30 years old and I doubt they’ve been cleaned once.  We took down the rods and drapes and replaced them with some that matched my couches.  Now that we’re moving, we wanted to put everything up early so that we didn’t have to worry about the old rod breaking or whatever.  WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUTT!

I did some shopping today and yesterday.  You know, VS was having the semi annual sale, Old Navy was having a summer sale, and there’s a Goody’s near me that’s closing soon so they were having a blowout sale.  I got some great stuff - a couple shirts, a dress, some pedal pushers and a skirt.  It’ll be nice to have some new stuff for the summer.

Speaking of shopping …. Tom and I were walking into Petsmart to look at puppies, and as we walked up to the cages there were a group of people surrounding a man who was laying on the floor.  The paramedics had been called and someone was trying to do CPR.  He was breathing, but I just felt so horrible.  I said a quick prayer for him and I really hope he’s okay.

I’m off to play some Wii with Tom.  We’ve spent so much one-on-one time together this weekend and we’re both absolutely LOVING it!
