So I ordered these glasses online & they arrived today. They make me look SOOOO intellectual!! =) Exactly what I had in mind!! They're incredibly light too- its like I'm not even wearing them!! See, some of you might think I'm a little bit mental for doing this, but I actually don't _NEED_ glasses. I have perfect vision, better than perfect *knockonwood* but for some reason I've always been jealous of people that wear glasses. All my 6 flatmates wear prescription glasses...and I've kinda always wanted to. So I ordered them online instead!! Woo hoo!
The ordered silver ones but I actually got them in plum 'cuz they were out of the silver (they were absolutely dirt cheap!!) and they came in a cool pink case. Dude, sweet. =) =)
Why did I buy them then you ask?
1) They make me look smarter. Like intellectual smarter. And as a medical student you get taken very seriously if you look the geeky part.
2) I wear gloves/aprons/masks/hats etc when I'm around patients or in theatre and make sure if I've got cuts somewhere then I keep them bandaged. Luckily, I've never had any problems with a needle stick or any other sharps injury. But I'm really REALLY _REALLY_ freaked about getting something (i.e. bodily fluids) in my eye. This is the one way into my body for germs that I cannot protect. Hence glasses! They make me feel safer as I go around the hospital, and really thats the only place I need to use 'em.
Genius, aren't I? *hugewidegrin* Plus I'm totally loving this slight pink/purple tint they have- awesomeness!! 
ps: They're giving me a slight bit of a headache, even though they have no power. Is that bad?
