Went to the tabling day with Delta Chapter at the University of San Francisco. There were quite a few of us there. Even the old timers like Jbiz and G came out and supported. That’s the great part of being a brother of Chi Rho Omicron. We’re always down for each other, and if we haven’t seen each other in a long time, it’s just like we saw each other yesterday.
Made it back to Davis just in time for class, and since I don’t have my glasses yet, I still can’t see. I was able to get my vision checked on Friday, and I ended up hearing concerning news. I guess my eyes are getting even more distorted and at the rate that they are progressing, I will eventually go blind. Hence, my astigmatism is so bad right now that even that LASIK surgery would not be possible without damaging the cornea. It was a lengthy explanation. I’m going to get a second opinion though, and see what other opthamalogists say.
After class I went to the Sinagtala “Popcorn Series Workshop 1.” I was almost two hours late, but I caught the group about two-thirds of the way through the movie Drumline. I felt that the lesson of the workshop was about discipline and thinking and performing as an ensemble within Sinagtala. I felt it was a long way of getting the message across, and could have been handled more succinctly. That’s just me though. It’s often been said that my expectations are too high. Again, I respond with, “Nobody rises to low expectations.”
