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
This morning we went for a walk on the new promenade outside old San Juan (Paseo de Puerta de Tierra) I could do the assignment I found out about on Friday. All I have seen in this area for the last two years in construction, but I hadn't seen it now that it's done. I … Continue reading Paseo de Puerta de Tierra (Puerta de Tierra Promenade)
I have been doing my best to keep up with the class I'm taking, and I think it's going pretty well, except for when the professor starts throwing homework assignments at the end of class. It's one, then quickly comes the other one and another one. By the time she's done I missed one or two, … Continue reading I requested and was promised accommodations, why can’t I get them?
So here I am, looking for a job again. I'm not unemployed yet, but my boss told me last week that my internship will come to an end soon. I'm still not sure when it ends exactly, but I don't want to go back into the world without a job after having one for 8 … Continue reading Job hunting again

My grandma is a civil engineer, only a few other women studied engineering with her in the 50's. She always worked and she raised four daughters, all of whom went to college and … Continue reading Let’s show them who’s boss

So now there's these people dressing up as clowns, as in clowns weren't scary and creepy enough already. They should stay where they belong, the circus, that way if you don't like them or have a life long fear of the scary man with a white face giving children balloons, you don't have to see … Continue reading Clowns are not funny
It has been a long time since the last time I got confused taking my anti-epileptic medicine which has become a routine, but this morning I overslept a little bit. I woke up at nine, which is fine because it really doesn't matter when I tale the medicine, as long as it's sometime between 8 … Continue reading Another anti-epileptic meds confusion
Here is more information about SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) I think everyone with epilepsy or people who know a patient of epilepsy should read. I know there are people who don't take epilepsy seriously and I want to help spread the message to help people stop their seizures. It can be done! #AimForZero
Hello October, I was not able to write yesterday or earlier today because I have still been busy finishing a project, but I think I'm done. So without noticing, September is over, it's already October and it's scary. Not just because of Halloween, but because the very anticipated and scary elections are quickly coming up … Continue reading Hello October
I ran for fifteen minutes today and I am both proud and regretting it. I'm proud of myself because I haven't been running that much and I barely worked out last week and this week. I'm also surprised I could do this; I almost quit 5 minutes in, then seven, then ten, but once I … Continue reading Ouch

I spent the whole day sitting in front of my computer doing everything I could to complete a project which is our first exam for the class I'm taking. I was in front of my computer working on that all day; I think for about 12 hours in total. Those 12 hours were only today, … Continue reading First exam: Done!

I know that most people I know who still didn't have power, got it back sometime between last night and this morning but there are still over 17,000 people without light or power in their homes or businesses.These people are … Continue reading A day without a smartphone
Last night, at about 12:45, I woke up because there were people in my room turning on my air conditioner. I was still half asleep but I was still able to ask "volvió la luz?" ("is the power back?"), and obviously it had if they turned the air conditioner on. After they said yes, and … Continue reading #apagon2016- Day 3
