Apartments

Saturday Melissa and I are going to go out and look at some apartments. We've been able to narrow the field down to just a couple using various internet websites and resources. Despite using the internet, I am still very uncofident in my ability to know what to say and do when actually talking with a landlord. What are some things I should look for when checking out an apartment? Is it more beneficial to have utilities included in the rent or to have a washer and dryer in the unit but no utilities paid? I am too new at this to really know what I am doing. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for this whole finding an apartment deal?

Success

Sorry it has taken so long to give an update, but I am home on spring break this week and computer access isn't as readily available as at school. In regards to the surgery, it was a grand success and the easiest surgery I have ever done. The surgery was on Friday and by Saturday morning I could see a perfect 20/20 in both eyes if not better. The whole process lasted 15 minutes max and the only discomfort I had was when I tried to sleep when I got home after the surgery. It burned quite a bit then, but otherwise I haven't felt a single thing. I still have some eyedrops that I have to put in through tomorrow and I can't swim for 2-3 weeks, but other than that I'm pretty much home free. It's a great feeling to wake up in the morning and be able to see. There's some times still where I feel like I need to take my contacts out but then I remember that I don't have to and it's great. I would definitely recommend the surgery to anyone who's thinking about doing it.

The Jitters

It is the night before my eye surgery, and I am beginning to feel the nervousness. It is, after all, my eyes that are going under the laser tomorrow. Right now is a very bittersweet moment. There is the sweetness of no glasses or contacts, but at the same time there is the tension and the nervousness involved with any sort of surgery. Nervous or not, this surgery is going down tomorrow, so I bid thee farewell lenses and good riddance. I hope we do not meet again for a long time.
