I will be thrilled when this week is over. Things have been eerily quiet around campus with spring break in full swing. I've done just about all the tasks that were still needing to be finished, I have attended to every peripheral item I can readily think of, and it is only Thursday afternoon.

It's off to the eye doctor this afternoon, as well. Thrilling, I know. Here's a little nugget of advice to anyone who tends to be lazy with removing their contacts at night-it will cost you. I awoke this morning to the joy of a "corneal abrasion" caused when I yanked the 5 -day old, dried, warped contact lens from my eye. This means I essentially tore part of the corneal tissue because I did not take out my contacts. This also means I get to spend my afternoon getting all manner of fluids dumped into my eye and a leaving with a bill that will likely approach $100 or more.

I could have bought some new contacts for that price...
