i win.

i always knew that i was a pretty competitive person. whether on the lacrosse field or simply playing a board game with kenny, i like to win. what i didn't realize, was just how much i like to win...

i was at the eye doctor yesterday and they were having me look at the eye chart. we started with the top line of the larger letters and moved down to the bottom with the smaller letters. i found myself thinking, "i'm going to win this. i'm going to get all the letters right on the smallest line." so, here i am at the eye doctor having a simple check-up and i have turned it into a game that i want to win. well, it didn't stop there...next they showed me a line on the chart and asked me which lens i could see better through, lens 1 or lens 2. they showed me each line with each lens and i had to tell them which one was clearer. instead of thinking about my eyes and trying to be helpful for the doctor so they can prescribe me the right correction for my contacts, i started thinking about which one was the "right" answer and how i wanted to guess the "right" lens each time.

the game soon ended as my appointment was over...but i'll be back next year ready to win the eye chart game again...
