21/05/2016 So, I went to the optics store, yesterday. Thanks to my dog, the lenses of my actual glasses were scratched enough for me to make this inevitable (but definitely not fun) decision... and I bought a pair of new ones. Some ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly ones, obviously. The point is, I hate being nearsighted. I hate glasses and, most of all, I hate how glasses look on my face. Seems like there's no pair of specs in the world that suit me... <_< that's why I just can't leave my house if I don't have my contacts on. I've suffered from myopia ever since I was a little girl, I've worn glasses for as long as I can remember and this maybe is the reason behind my hard feelings against them... I want to be able to see well again as soon as possible, but I guess I'll have to wait any other years for the laser eye surgery... sigh!

So yesterday I went to the opticians. Thanks to my dog, the lenses of my actual glasses were scratched enough for me to make the inevitable (but definitely not fun) decision... and I bought a pair of new ones. Some shockingly hideous ones, obviously.

(Great use of colloquial language. Reads very informal, just like a native speaker chatting to another native speaker. Well done!)

I am meandering through posts to get used to the italki layout when I came across your post. Wow, this was surprisingly close, even better, than how I write (native speaker). Will Peach did an awesome job at editing this. His changes add just an extra lay of images formed in my head as I read the post. Will, feel free to edit my comment :P Silvia, Doing great, good luck with the eye surgery(one day), and till then keep writing these awesome posts.
