Due to the fact that i needed new contacts, I had to go to the eye doctor to have my eyes looked at, because they're REALLY bad now. Have you ever had your eyes dilated? I'm sure we all have. It's where they put these drops in your eyes that make your pupils a whole lot bigger. My eye doctor, whose name was Dr. James, told me that my eyes were WAY bad. It's probably genetics. What Dr. James told me was that if my eyes get worse enough, then I won't be able to have the LASIK surgery thingy when I turn 21. Scary right? Dr. James's assistant assured me, though, that that doesn't happen much. My eyes have astigmatism, which makes it so that I have to wear this other type of contacts. I used to only have one eye that had it, but now both do. That one eye's lense is weird, because it has these little marks on its sides that tell you which way should face up. It's been a weird day so far, because, as it takes a long time for the dilation to wear off, my eyes are really blurry.

I had to close my eyes for the trip home, because if I opened them, I would be blinded by the sun's rays. But when the car came to an abrupt stop, I just had to open them. In our ward, there is this CUTEST baby (well, I guess he's a toddler now) that my mom is obsessed with, and whenever she sees him she just freaks out and has to play with him. His name is Caleb Hall, and the Halls are very good friends of ours. If you saw him, you would have to agree that the Halls' baby is cute. When you shrug, and he sees it, he shrugs also. He also blows kisses at you and likes to hit people. (I don't know if that would be cute or not). His face is always a smile, and he doesn't cry much. I think if they voted, all the parents' votes in our ward would be that Caleb is the cutest. My mom is lucky, because she is the children's nursery helper in our ward.

I really hate that feeling when you have loads of homework due over the weekend. You know that you are going to do it anyways, but you can't muster up enough courage to actually sit down and do it like I am now. There is this thing in my english class where all the students' parents have to edit their character sketches. I don't really like the idea of that, because if my dad edits it, it'll take FOREVER because he is a literature maniac. I am jealous of this girl at school, because she had her parents edit hers, and it only took a couple minutes. There is also this other kid who had his done like two weeks ago. Drives me nuts.
