Stupid Black Eye - Blogabond

I'm still rocking a big ugly Shiner from the meia lua de compasso I caught in the face at last Saturday's batizado. It doesn't hurt, but it's damn ugly. That being the case, I'm refusing to get my student ID photo taken until it heals because I refuse to be saddled for the next two years with an ID picture in which I am mutilated. The problem is that I need my ID to get into any building on campus. So far, the security guards that I've explained the situation to have been sympathetic and let me go to class. Today, however, I schlepped my butt all the way up to Harlem on a Saturday morning for a writing workshop only to find that in order to get into the building, I needed to swipe my ID. You know, the one I don't have. Grr.

The day wasn't a total waste, though; I finally got into H&M to return a bunch of shirts and now have a $40 credit to put towards a much-needed wardrobe update. So, yay. And I don't have to be at school again until Tuesday, by which point we can only hope that this stupid black eye will have faded enough to at least be coverable with makeup.
