23 Jan

I know this sounds like a broken record, but what else do you do when you have no class and nothing really pertinent to work on? I slept in incredibly late. While putting on my contacts, something completely unexpected and startling happened: I broke one. It was stuck to the lid and as I tried to pry it out, I suddenly heard a crack, a sound that was slight yet sickening. I have broken a contact lens only once before and that was on purpose; I wanted to see how hard it would be and from that experience I learned that it wasn’t easy to break a gas permeable lens. Apparently, I was wrong on London has been very cruel to my lenses (though I can’t imagine how). Anyway, I had fortunately packed a spare pair and promptly put those on. My lost lens definitely put a damper on my day. I sort of wiled the day away doing some reading for class, talking with my mom, and just messing around. Dinner was nothing exciting and after dinner I did more of what I had done before. All in all, a low-key and somewhat tragic day. Boohoo.
