I woke up very tired today, I didn’t want to do anything, but I had told myself I would clean today. The apartment smelled like dog, and it hurt because the dog wasn’t here anymore, he went home with his master yesterday. I thought cleaning and getting the smell out would make it all normal, … Continue reading Robin went home
While I was watching the movie Concussion earlier today, I saw an image of what happens to neurons after your head gets shaken really hard. I only thought, that explains what I’ve been through these past few years. After this, my mom, who was sitting next to me said that happened to you, but only … Continue reading A very, very good movie was made about this
Do people feel sorry for me? Do people think I can't do anything? I can't drink, but that's about it, I'm still the same person. I was invited to brunch today, which turned into lunch, and then I found out they have plans of going to the beach after, but nobody told me. I wasn't … Continue reading Don’t worry about me, I just won’t move because I have epilepsy
It has been 42 hours since I missed my nightly dose of 4 Keppra and 1 Vimpat. These are the two medicines that have been doing a great job of helping me control my epilepsy. I spent 24 hours without taking Vimpat and 42 without Keppra. Nothing happened during the day I spent without Keppra … Continue reading I didn’t mean to, but I proved myself wrong
I've been really good about taking my medicine on time, sometimes I'm a little too strict about that. If it's 8 pm, it's 8 pm, not a minute sooner, and I never forget. I complain when my mom keeps checking up on me, asking if I took my medicines, because she knows I'm even more … Continue reading That time I missed a dose
Today I was going to send out job applications, again, but I only sent one. I have a list of places to send my resume and cover letter just hoping they will have something for me. But this process is not easy and does not get easier. I have a new cover letter talking about … Continue reading Sending more job applications
I have issues, issues with too many people around me. I was at the gym tonight and it was very, very, really full of people. I almost left, but as I was going to get my water bottle I noticed one person leaving, so I stood there for a second and thought, I need to … Continue reading Stop, just think about it before running away
Tonight I joined Team Susie in one of their daily (or nightly) walks. We walked from Miramar, to Condado, and back. I had never joined Team Susie for one of these walks because I thought it would be boring, but it turns out it wasn't. I spent the whole 1:30 talking to one of my … Continue reading Walking with #teamsusie
1/9/2013 Yesterday I woke up in a hospital. I didn’t understand what happened until they told me. Then I understand I had a seizure and that why I dint remember and why I was in the hospital.

Last night I saw that it had been four years since I took the GRE, the test that I thought would determine what I would do for the next few years. Taking this test opened a lot of doors for me, but now I can't believe I was able to take this test, which helped … Continue reading That time I took the GRE
I forgot to make my 9 months poster, but here it is.
YES, it’s been 9 months since my last seizure, 9 MONTHS! I’m only 3 months away from making it a year without seizures. Nine months is a lot; babies are born in this amount of time. I’ve completed a whole school year without seizures. That’s 3 less months than the 12 months that make a … Continue reading Look at me world, controlling my epilepsy
Yesterday I was doubting myself. I didn't think I would write about my grades on my blog. I have never been one to share my grades with people, but then writing about it was the only way I could put my feelings of disappointment into coherent words, and get it all out. Every time I … Continue reading Thank you to all my readers
Today I got some pretty bad news, I didn't want to share this, but I need to get it out of my system. I won't give any details because I really don't feel very comfortable putting it all out there, but I didn't do very well on my final project for the online class I … Continue reading Should I follow my dream?
