No…it could never happen to me.  It was one of those things that happened to other people…but not me!

I woke up yesterday morning with my right eye red and swelling half way shut.  That’s weird…I didn’t sleep in my contacts last night.  Oh well, it’s nothing a little visine can’t handle…or was it?  One, two drops and…ouch, that hurt…!!  It was as if there was a cut inside my eye or something because it really stung!  spider bite?  but in my eye?

That was it…I checked myself into the hospital to take advantage of this so-called great healthcare system Korea has to offer.  Doctor took a few examinations and the results were in right away…pink-eye!

Pink-eye?  Do people still get that?  Pink-eye was always something I heard about little kids getting from playing in over-crowded swimming pools back in the old days.  Apparently out in Korea, it’s as common as the common cold.  No more jjim-jil-bang for me for a while.

Well that’s it…I’m out for at least a week.  Stay away from me…I’m contagious!  I just remembered Pastor Dave having it not too long ago, so we are all vulnerable.  Plus I don’t want to see you guys anyway…haha. jp =P  I’m being forced to wear glasses and I don’t want you to see me in my glasses.  I’m a closet nerd.  Alls I’m missing from my nerd apparel is the masking tape wrapped around the bridge of my glasses.  But thats not too far off because I become super-clumsy in them and I’m bound to break them sooner or later. 

I don’t wear glasses all that often but when I do, I become super-nerd!  I lose my sense of depth perception and so I’ll start bumping into things.  My peripheral vision (not to mention, my sanity) gets messed up cause I always think I’m seeing double from the side.  I think that can easily lead to paranoia or schitzophrenia….oooh!  what was that?? ((>< )) (( ><))  And I always forget to clean them so if there is a smudge who knows if I’m looking at things properly. 

Oh blast you, pink-eye!  What I wouldn’t give for a good ¶§¹ÐÀÌ.
