Glasses, Classes, Sunburns and Cars


To be honest, I've been a bit xenophobic lately, at least so far as having my picture taken is concerned, due to how cruddy my complexion's been. But, I have finally gotten around to sharing some piccies with my glasses (which, as you may or may not recall, I acquired in August of last year). Still no picture of my car, The (also acquired in August), but the year isn't over yet.

In other news, the Differin Cream prescribed to me by my dermatologist not only dries out my face a bit, it also makes my skin ridiculously photosensitive. I mean, seriously, I might have spent about 30 minutes total in the direct sunlight within the past week and I've already gotten a slight sunburn on my cheeks. I don't burn that easily! Apparently, I should also be avoiding prolonged exposure to fluorescent lights. Hmm... does that mean I have an excuse to cut classes?? Hopefully, since I finally got some lotion with SPF 15, I can avoid any more rosiness in the near future.

Anyhow, now that people are finally returning to the dorm after the week-long pre-summer semester break, I'm all ready for school to start back up tomorrow. Actually, that's not true at all. I'm never prepared to have to awaken and be anywhere by 8:30 in the morning. I have, however, located my clinical site so I won't get lost on Wednesday, and I'm about 50% sure I have all I need in the way of books and whatnot. (And if I do need another text or two, it'll be no problem to swing by the bookstore and pick them up tomorrow between classes.)

In any case, that's about it for the moment--see ya'll another time!

You say you've been a bit "xenophobic" but I wonder if you really meant that (Xenophobia is a fear and contempt of foreigners [wikipedia]) ;).

Otherwise you look good with the glasses :)

(*xenophobe: A person unduly fearful or contemptuous of that which is foreign, especially of strangers or foreign peoples)

Yeah, I realize I used that a bit outta context, but I tend to do that once in a while. Besides, I put it in before I looked it up (knowing it involved some kind of shyness), but decided it was close enough for what I wanted. Maybe I'll change it later...

Mind you I just commented on this because in a lot of languages xenophobia = racism, so since it didn't seem to be what you meant at all I thought I would point it out ;).
