20.7. Shorter is Sweeter - Elizabeth P's Task: One or Two?

I started optometry school in Arizona this past August, and it has pretty much taken over my life. I think most of us know the feeling of going to the eye doctor, being blinded by bright lights and asked the most dreaded of all questions – one or two? Now, as I am learning how to be the doctor who asks that question about 100 times a day, I’m practicing by asking you to choose one or two in this task.

REQUIRED: Specify your option when you post.

Option One: I or Eye?
This might just be me, but every time I hear the word eye I think about the letter “I”, but eye is spelled with two “E”s. It’s especially prevalent when I watch Lord of the Rings for the 45th time and the Eye of Sauron says “I SEE YOU…”. Am I the only one who imagines it as “EYE SEE YOU” instead?

Read a book that has 2 “I”s AND 2 “E”s in the title/subtitle - more than 2 of both/either are okay

Examples: The Girl You Left Behind Works: (I in gIrl, behInd, E in lEft, bEhind)
All the Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an Independent Nation(I in sIngle, ladIes, e in thE, singlE, more in title/subtitle which is okay)

This Does Not Work: The Midnight Star (two Is, both in mIdnIght, but only one E)


Option Two: To study or not to study?
As a graduate student trying to become a doctor, I am expected to put down my books and study from time to time. Sometimes this is fun, sometimes it’s the worst, but regardless, I’m learning something.

Read a non-fiction book with the main page genre science or health.

I had where they take the picture of the inside of my eye. That is REAL fun because they have to numb your eye so you can't blink. I also like to have a little fun reading the eye chart too. :)

How about this for option 1: Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton?

Those pictures are always so cool! I haven't had to do that yet but I'm sure they'll make us do it soon. And you'd be amazed by how many things have fake eye charts on them, I have socks and a shirt and a Barbie doll, they're so fun!
