After almost two years of constant abuse, my glasses are about dead. They were sitting crooked on my face, they were scratched up beyond repair, and they just weren't very comfortable. What they were, though, was fashionable. So I went to buy a new pair, and was able to find some that were similar, but not quite as nice as my old ones. Unless I wanted to pay something like $600 for them, which I didn't. My parents just mailed them to me today, and I got them adjusted down on Cornmarket Street. But while my eyes adjust to a new pair of lenses and the subtleties of now having my glasses straight and not crooked, I have very limited depth perception, which is kind of amusing, but also kind of nauseating.
First day of classes today - it looks like my Greek class is going to be awful again. This woman just cannot teach. We expect more out of Oxford University, but we're just not getting it. Trust me, complaints have been made.
And I was sitting at my desk this past weekend reading and minding my own business when my watchband broke. Randomly and without warning. It just broke. I don't get it. This is the second watch in three months, and the fourth watch in two years. I'm getting kind of sick of this. It will cost £7.75 to buy a new band at the store, if they had one, which they don't. They could but in a generic for £10 (isn't a generic supposed to be less than a genuine?), but I'm not sure the watch is worth that much money anyway. What a pain. This was a nice watch too. Unbelieveable.
Well, off to find food. Unfortunately, they ran out of dinner tickets at 1pm today, so I'm on my own for dinner. Perhaps a nice curry would hit the spot tonight.
