Untitled Part 23

    I woke up today and proceeded to bump into something directly in front of me. I need glasses, don't I... But they're so expensive. I'm terrible with managing finances.

    I'll have to break down eventually and buy a pair, but today is not the day! Work will continue as usual, only slightly impaired.

    Construction is almost finished. That's good, because I'm sick of sitting outside and watching people build. Is architecture and working as an architect this stupid in other places? I really hope not, I plan on moving away from this awful place.

    I'll need to talk with James soon; he's a social man, he could help me find that woman I met at the ball, probably.

    I broke down and bought the glasses... They're uncomfortable to wear, but I can see clearly now. They make me look older, too. Now I might actually be taken seriously in important discussions! Not that I'm ever included in important discussions.

    There is one good thing about living in Galsran; no one knows me or my life. No one knows my birth name or who my parents are. And no one will know my birth name, because I hate it and am very uncomfortable when people say it around me.

    I did speak with James, he does know who she is. Now what to do? Do I send a letter? That seems reasonable. But what to say? I'm not very good at this; it's why I have maybe 2 friends. I'm just not good at interacting with people...
