We're almost done with the multimedia story. It took us more than 3 and a half, almost four hours today, and were not done yet. I don't know how long it will take tomorrow but I think the most difficult parts are done. I don't really know because I still haven't been able to do … Continue reading Almost done

Today I spent a little more than 3 hour working and freezing in a very crowded Starbucks. It looked more like a school library or study room than a coffee shop. Every group had at least one computer for the whole group, at most one per person, like us. When my whole group was there, all … Continue reading Putting together a multimedia story
I found this first video a few days ago, of me trying to take a few steps by myself four years ago in November, 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7my3a4TrScU Later I found this one, taken a month later in the same place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6rm7iCnYbI I really don't know how to express how I feel every time I see … Continue reading You can
My group for the final project and I have been able to start communicating, and have been able to start working as a group since I was clear when I told them I didn't like that they were making decisions without me. Today we worked on our first interview, which went great; we got a … Continue reading 1 interview down
I have about two weeks left of class and as I'm working on the final project, I have also been looking for another job. I already started the job search this week, but that plus working on my final project gets a little difficult. It's hard just looking for places to send my resume, especially … Continue reading Here we go again
First, I've had about all I can take in politics, that's enough for now. I was ready to relax, meaning get to work on my final project. I was happy because we were assigned a group project and three heads are better that one, except when the two other heads leave your head out. My … Continue reading We need to work together, whether we like it or not
First I will say that as of yesterday I am I year and 7 months seizure free! Five months to go! There were other, more important things going on. Because of these, I did not get to celebrate this time, but it's ok. I'm still recovering from what happened yesterday. I woke up at 7:30 … Continue reading November 8, 2016
When I was at my aunt's house last weekend, she game the stuff I left before I came back home. There I found two binders; one had information about Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital in Schenectady, New York, where I went after I left the hospital in Syracuse. The other had my schedule for everyday I was … Continue reading My time at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital

Yesterday the pain was too much. My parents got me Bengay Pain Relieving Patch from the pharmacy and that helped ease the pain while I wore it, but when I took it off, the pain returned. I couldn't sleep last night, I didn't know if it was my shoulder or if it was too early, … Continue reading Day five- Not my shoulder
First, the thing I sprained or caused whatever it is that's bothering me, is my shoulder. I woke up this morning because it was bothering me, well not bothering, it hurt! It was swollen today too. So I went to the doctor, a family doctor, and after looking at it and asking me all the … Continue reading My shoulder- Day 3
When you have a metal plate (at least I think that's what it is, please correct me if I'm wrong) in your arm, you think you're invincible. That makes you kind of a robot and it wont hurt because part of my arm is not bone, right? I keep learning how wrong I was about … Continue reading My shoulder… or elbow? IDK, my arm
I got the permission slip for my professor to sign, allowing me to record the class. I thought that was it, after she signed it I would be able to record the class; maybe she would say I needed the rest of the student's signatures too, but they're all very nice, I think they would … Continue reading What happened to my rights?
I have a pretty cool epilepsy t-shirt, but I saw this today shared by Wearing Purple for my Love, on Facebook and I thought it was just awesome. I think these epilepsy t-shirts help show that epilepsy is nothing to mess with, but if we're strong, we can beat it. I think the force can help … Continue reading May the force be with us
