Forever and ever

It now feels like I've been in school forever.  It seems to drag, and I feel like I'm far behind all my classmates I started with.  I didn't think going part time would affect my graduation date this much.  Sigh.  How much longer do I have to go?  A year.  Are the classmates I started school with almost done?  Yes.  This sucks, but I will keep trekking on.  I need this for my future.  I have rededicated myself to finish school this year, so that I can start my career.  I am typing away as my essay sits next to my computer to get finished....

Procrastination is evil and never should be practiced. So much easier said than done.

I went to the optometrist's office yesterday to get my eyes checked, just an annual visit.  Well, last year, the facility that I went to wasn't contracted with my insurance, so I had to pay out of pocket for my exam, so this year I went to another doctor's office where they take my vision insurance.  Went in thinking it would just be the doctor checking out my eyes, telling my vision hasn't changed that much, getting my prescription and leaving.  Nope.  I found out I have astigmatism in both eyes, and that my vision has drastically changed from my last prescription.  I was pretty shocked to find that out.  I went home and did a little research.  People are usually born with astigmatism, how come I find this out at 26?  Did it just happen within this past year?  I don't understand... and the contact lenses for astigmatism is through the roof!  My doctor did a little test to see if getting contacts for astigmatism would make a big difference than regular contacts, but it didn't, so he told me since it doesn't make that much of a difference, that I can stick with getting regular contacts.  So then it became time to decide whether I wanted to get glasses or contacts, I did the math, and (it must've completely slipped my mind) my glasses were almost 10 years old!  Oh my goodness!  I've been walking around with glasses I couldn't make fine distinctions with... which is okay because its not like I wear them all the time, so I decided I need new glasses than contacts for the time being.

I told my roommates about it, and they were more interested in what kind of frames I got. Hahaha, they sure know how to move the subject.
