Oh my gosh.. I want to get Lasik surgery prtty bad, because ever since I started working, I decided to help my parents as much as possible [since we aren't the richest people out there..] So I'm buying my own books, paying half of tuition, buying my own clothes, and even buying my own contacts.. I don't mind, because it makes me happy knowing that I'm helping A LOT, but still.. Contacts are pretty expensive, and I want lasik surgery. I've talked to my parents about it, and my parents say they'll cover it. Plus, where I work, they offer me health insurance and everything for just [ranges between $10 and $60] a paycheck. I have thought REALLY HARD about it, and I want it, but I am scared!! I know the minute I step in there I'll start crying and freaking out. I read AFemaleProdigy's description, and even though you all assure me it doesn't hurt [don't worry, I believe you], I still think it's gonna be scary!! I mean, the fact that you actually go completely blind for a couple of minutes.. OH MY GOSH!! But, you know what? Dad and I were talking about it, and we want to get it done THIS SUMMER!! That's right.. It's just a couple of months away. I'm scared.. But I know it'll be for the best. Wish me luck, everyone :]
