Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirates Life for me

So, as I was driving around Wed night (with the doors off my jeep), I got extremely sleepy in about a second. Not thinking anything of it, I went home and we watched some Arrested Devolopment. Throughout the 5 episodes we watched, my eye began to hurt worse and worse. I rubbed my eye, attempted to flush it out, and even used eye drops, but no love. Finally, I look in the mirror only to see a tiny black spec just under my pupil. I attempt to fish it out with my finger, and no go. So I decide to go to sleep, or atleast attempt to with something lodged in my eye.

I wake up the next day in sheer pain. I go to the 10am Advisory Board meeting looking like I just did a whole lot of drugs. Nose running, eyes bload shot, couldnt keep them opened I struggled through the meeting. I then went to the health center and told them my problems. As I went to the doctors office, he numbed my eye and attempted to get it out with a cotton swab. No go, again. So he escorted me to the eye clinic. There they shined this bright ass light in my eyes and noticed I actually got a piece of asphalt in my eye. Fuckin fabulous! So the student doctor in training used something that she described as a "mini golf club" to "flip" it outta my eye. They then dilated my eye and sent me off on my way.

For the rest of the day, my left pupil was huge and a looked like a freak. Not to mention, looking at any light killed. So I went to the banquet wearing my sunglasses inside. Funny enough, no one really questioned why I was wearing them, they just thought I was being an ass. So, to the after party, I wore an eyepatch, which helped with light, but completely fucked my depth perception so anyone who waved their hand at me quickly freaked me out.

Today, I went in for a check up. The first thing the new student doctor said was "how the hell did you get asphalt in your eye?!?". He then looked at it, dilated it again, dyed my eye yellow (which was really weird) and scheduled me to come back again in on Mon. Yippee, now my eyes will be dilated for another two days. This is what happens when you take the doors off your jeep...
