First Time For Everything

Went to class yesterday to take my midterm, I had woken up at 5:15am so I can do so reading to prepare for it. I couldn’t see, my eyes were still dilated from the eye drops. I e-mailed the instructor at around 6. I didn’t think he was going to read until after the midterm, I got my blue book and I was ready to do god knows what. I didn’t know what I was going to do; I was just going to try my best to write. As I got there the instructor pull me to the side and said this isn’t important, he said go take care of your eyes.

I was surprised; I’ve never skipped a midterm in my whole entire life. I was lost in words, I told the instructor that I can try and see. He asked me if I was sure, I then thought, hmmm I am really not prepare for this since my eyes haven’t been 100% so I told him well the thing is that I can’t read text, I can’t read my writing. He basically excused me from the midterm. I thought that was pretty cool of the instructor since I’ve never asked for pity or compassion. Felt weird after that walking out of the class, I just thought that I should have received whatever I get disregarding my eyes.

I went straight to the eye doctor and told him what was wrong. He just said that it was a side effect of the eye drops and I should get better soon. Well its already Tuesday and my eyes are the still the same…
