Well, I finally got around to talking to family back in the States. It was nice even though I had to borrow someone's headset, well worth it. I talked to Lyndsey and Madelyn for a little while and was suprised that they could here me OK because my floormates have told me their skyping experience hasn't been that great.
The past few months I've noticed that when I'm in a classroom sometimes it seems harder than usual to read what's on the board. Moreover, when I'm on the street it seems harder to read signs. Today in class, my friends were trying on each others glasses, so I decided to see how blind they were and I tried a pair on and I could see really good. Apparently, I have worse vision than I thought. I think to get glasses here would cost around $150, so I think I can do without.
Tonight were going to a bar to celebrate someones birthday, I doubt I'll drink though. If I do all probably just have one beer. And...I haven't missed a class yet.

Sorry to read about your eyes. Perhaps you could find a local pharmacy or Superstore like our Wal-Mart that carries reading, driving, or perscription glasses that could help you out until you got back to the states.
ReplyDeleteHave fun tonight with your buddies and it is good to read you haven't missed a class. Take care Little Man!
Hey! What happened to posting everyday or something! Where you been?
ReplyDeleteLet us know what you've been up to Little Man!
Nat's right. YOu might be able to find a pair of reading glasses at the equivilant of the Dollar store to get by for reading. If you can't see the board you might be ready for bifocals.
ReplyDeleteCome and make a chart at the Pawnee Clinic and I can see about getting you in to see Dr. Morgan the optomitrist for an exam. If you need glasses, we can get them through IHS. There is a charge for the frames and glasses, but usually not as much as outside. Will need your CDIB..
Love, Mom
