True Story

It was the beginning of summer on a really sunny day. I just got in the car with my room mate... we were heading up to Vermont to move into the new apartment.

I miss sunny days a little bit. Call it seasonal depression, except I'm not actually depressed.

Anyway, it's one of those great days where you want to keep your windows open on the highway. We are driving on 93 north and fast approaching the south of boston. We head on into that sweet new tunnel.

You know how your eyes get really crazy when you are outside and then suddenly go inside? It's like you are blind for a few seconds. Well that happened. They have those sweet orange lights in the beginning that somehow help out with that (I don't know, it's science) but my eyes weren't feeling it. I couldn't see shit. I never had it so bad.

So I turned on my headlights. Still pretty dark. High beams. Nope.

What the fuck??

I could see a little bit but not really.

So I turned to my room mate next to me, "dude... dude i can't see shit my eyes are so fucked up"

In one sentence I realize how much of an idiot I am.

"You have your sunglasses on"

haha, i remember rowing senior year and it was nearly dark out and our coxswain was like "i can't see anything" and i was like "you've still got your sunglasses on" and she was like "oh i totally forgot that i've been wearing them this whole time!" and she took them off and then she could see but until then she couldn't!
