card carrying / glasses wearing nerd

That's right folks. Despite hours of conversation trying to convince sceptical friends that I have a brain tumour. Turns out I don't. I need glasses.
I was excited about getting my eyes tested. I wanted glasses. However I am now a little worried. I'm wearing them as we speak - or more as I type - and I like them but there are some things about glasses that no one tells you.

Number One: You can't glance up and down in glasses you have to actually lift you head otherwise you try and look though the frame you loose focus and spend the next five seconds wondering why you are so disorientated.
2: No matter how well fitted they are if you rase your eye brows they fall down your nose. Meaning you have to push them back up. Making you look like the snotty nosed nerdy kid in your grade four class.
Thirdly: There is about eighty seven million different styles to choose from and they all say something. Its important to get the right ones. But for someone who has never worn glasses how do I know what is right!
4th: If like mine, your glasses are for seeing things up close and you forget you are wearing them it makes you feel a bit sick when you look at far off things.
Finally: Even though I know they look good. When they are on your face thigh seem like the biggest thing out. Suddenly you are a nerd. An actual smart looking person. The expectation is high.









If you have been wearing glasses your whole life good on you its tough, Thanks for welcoming me into the club.
