Bryan, I see what you mean about putting so much trust into random professionals. After a “brief” trip to the optometrist and seven pictures of my face turning out blurry, off centered, or just plain wrong, I started to wonder why my person would not just stop talking about our school and just take a good picture!
Now Bryan, you may have noticed that Paige and I talked a lot last year during Pre-Cal or me and Cassie a lot in Chemistry. I have an excuse! Previously, I could never read the board because my eyes would blur at that special distance. This created a lot of strain on my eyes. The excuse? Astigmatism. Apparently, both my eyes suffer from it.
For the scientifically challenged readers, here is a nice diagram of Astigmatism.
Basically, my eyes separate light into separate vertical and horizontal beams, but my eyes struggle to see the vertical strands. The way I took this: I struggle to read the difference between “l” and “t,” but I can easily see the difference between “C” and “G.”
To correct my flaw and make me more perfect, I will be wearing glasses. That is right Bryan. I will be putting thick black frames with thin layers of “glass” to apparently help me see the vertical strands of light. I say “glass” because it is not actually glass! Fun fact: My glasses have some type of lens that will not scratch or glare as bad.
Enough made up Science for today. Bryan, because of my secret mission and having a good plan on my topics for next week, I will be taking my Top Ten Tuesday on Friday. We can call it… well… Zenith Zehn Fritag (Top Ten Friday).
Also Bryan, I began my undertaking of Never Let Me Go. My goal is to finish by Sunday, but I really do not see that working. Maybe I will instead just try to be finished by August. I did finish German! Go me!
Until tomorrow Bryan,
Tschuss!
I need to get working on that as well =}....
