Pink Eye

I've had pink eye since Tues. night. Why? I went to Freshmen Orientation during the day, then a rally/fundraiser that evening, and my eye starting acting up before I went to sleep. It's because of college. Hundreds of students in close contact? Yeah.

No, I did not go to the doctor to verify. I guessed from the one red eye and its symptoms. Now I look it up (it's much much better, I think I'll know tomorrow if it's totally better) and it fits everything here: "Viral conjunctivitis usually affects only one eye, which has excessive watering and a light discharge. Crusting on eyelids sometimes occurs."--http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/conjunctivitis.htm

"If you do have pink eye, do not wear your contact lenses until the condition has been resolved. Otherwise, you run the risk of extending or worsening symptoms." I did not know this. I certainly learned it through experience. I shall never do that again. It's HORRIBLE. But with no glasses, what could I do? I had no option. But I will never do that again.

Oh man, that sounds really painful. D: (By the way, in case you don't read my latest post before this, I'm in New York and we should meet up so I feel less depressed. :D)

I didn't know there's a condition called pink eye... I hope your eye gets better soon, it sucks having to wear glasses
