The World through One Eye


I have no idea why I am not panicked about exams yet. I mean, the most panic I’ve felt this past week was last night, and that was in no way related to study at all (more on this next time). I really hope the panic will hit me soon, because I’m really not liking what I’m spending my time doing instead.

I woke up on Tuesday with my left eye smaller, more swollen and pinker than the other. Apparently I had conjunctivitis in one eye, and to my horror the optometrist said I was not to wear my contacts.

Glasses, he said. GLASSES. But because I hate my glasses so much, and being the idiot that I am, I chose to wear my contacts in one eye and walk around with half a blurred vision.

The world seems so much more surreal with everything a blur. All the colours seem to blend in so well with everything around them, almost like some work of art. I’d do this more often if you know, I WASN’T GOING TO BUMP INTO A TREE ANY SECOND.

So yes, instead of studying, I spent my week with one eye:

Scribbling on T-shirts:










Looking up mirrors and trying to model some 'Matrix' film poster:






Sleeping with the books that were meant to be studied:




Sitting around eating raw vegetables thanks to the lack of variety in menus:




Walking around in new heels for a whole day = blisters (I can't believe I even have a picture for this):



P.S. Theresa and I are planning to start a street style blog with a group of friends sometime in the near future. If you know us personally and would like to contribute, contact us!
