Well, I've decided I'm going to keep blogging, even though I'm no longer on adventures abroad. Feel free to continue reading or stop reading as you desire. Most of what I say here will just be random things that pop into my head with whatever commentary i come up with.
With that said...
I'm adjusting to being home rather nicely. Sometimes it feels as though the whole semester was just a dream, but I have things that remind me it was real, like pictures, friends I wouldn't otherwise have met, and souvenirs. WIthout a doubt, the souvenir I use the most is the purse I got in Greece (Ha, I bet some of you thought it would be a shot glass. Got you!). It's adorable, but it's pretty difficult to organize. It only has one small pocket on the inside that's about big enough for my sunglasses and my cell phone, or my cell phone and my ipod, or my keys. When I set my purse down, sometimes the things spill out of the pocket into the purse anyway.
As a result, my old sunglasses got pretty badly scratched up by my keys. So I went to Target and got some new sunglasses, and I thought to myself, "Let's not do that same thing again! I'll get a case for my sunglasses, like any sensible person would do!"
I couldn't find a single glasses case in the store. I thought, "No matter, I've got some spares at home, maybe my sunglasses will fit into one of those." They didn't fit.
When I went to visit my best friend a little over a week ago, we thought we'd do some shopping, and I told her that I wanted to try and find a glasses case. We're pretty good at finding random things, I figured we be victorious rather easily. Nope.
I know glasses cases haven't gone extinct, I've seen a few people with them here and there. They must definitely be highly endangered though, because In the entire Columbia mall, the only place we found hard cases were Claire's. They were even the right size, but they were pretty ugly. The only soft ones we found were pretty plain, nothing decorative. And it left me wondering:
Why does no one make sunglasses cases anymore? I know people still wear sunglasses. And sunglasses aren't getting any more indestructable. Generally I'm pretty against the whole "more material things" notion. There are countless "inventions" out there that we don't need, mountains of junk that beg to clutter our lives. But sunglasses cases are not in these categories. They are simple and useful, and I just can't understand why I'm having such a difficult time finding any.
Maybe it would be easier to find a case to keep my keys in.
