Lord help me, I spent $720 today!
i feel SOOOOOO guilty! i blew 720 in one day, less than a 12 hour period! folks working at minimum wage, after taxes, make that much in 5 weeks!

here's the damage report.

120 eye exam
140 Modo frames
100 featherweight lenses
(still remaining: contacts - 30 for one eye and 30 for the other)

(i'm taking some bio classes to fill in my gaps b4 heading for med, textbooks for those courses):

140 human physiology
85 neurobiology
125 developmental biology

gah! aarh! dah...can't...breathe...

1. Look at it this way. The glasses will last for a good amount of time...
and if you don't have the textbooks the money spend on buying credits will be wasted by getting bad grades.

Of course you probably could have found cheaper eyewear
