so I wear glasses now

Inspired by Everett's glasses (hehe), I decided to go get an eye exam today.  I've never had my eyes checked before; I think I've always felt a bit proud of the fact that I had great vision (or thought I had great vision).  This summer, however, I noticed that far away words were kind of blurry so I decided to bite the bullet and get checked out.  

The eye exam process was super quick and efficient.  I went to a place near where we live that a bunch of people from our school recommended because they have an English speaker.  I just walked in, took the eye exam, and was told that I did in fact need glasses to see far away things.  After a bit of looking I picked out some frames and lenses and was told to return in 20 minutes.    Twenty minutes and 70,000 won (less than $70US) later here is the final product: 

More importantly, I can see so much better!  I had no idea how blurry things were until now when I wear my glasses distant objects are so crisp and clear.  While we had our twenty minute wait I was mentally debating if all this was necessary and if I really needed glasses.  Now that I have them and can literally SEE the difference I'm pretty pumped about my decision to get them.
