I don't think my eyes are doing very well and I don't know what to do about it. I have more assigned reading for this term than I will ever have again, since next year and following I'll be taking just 2 or 3 classes a year--and can spend a couple of those on the 'how to be a grad student' courses I dodged this first year. Despite having nothing else to do during this past week's flu I was hardly able to read at all: finished Outer Dark, Wilbur's recent Corneille, a few chapters of the Hawthorne. This and maybe a couple hours of movies or tv a day, that's all. They just feel tired, tired and kind of faded. They sting, though I don't think much of it has been the pressure pain that's the great danger.

Should I start investing in audio? I've never had much patience with it.

The worst thing about my eye issues is how demoralizing they are--and how hard they make exercising, which leads to further demoralization. Maybe I should drop out and get a job in retail. (<-- extreme ex. of such demoralization)
