Today I began the day by writing a cover letter for another job application, the first one on the year. After sending the cover letter and resume I went to the gym for my first workout of the year. After I got home and had lunch I decided to do laundry, another first to 2016. … Continue reading 2016’s firsts
It's hard to believe it's 2016, but it's here. It's election year, and if we thought 2015 was intense with politics, this year will be crazy. This year brings a lot of hope, just like every January. I hope things will be better. Every January I think will be better than the one before, but … Continue reading Hi 2016!
Ten months ago I decided I wanted people to read what I was writing, so I started a blog. I thought I would only write a few times a month, and just so people close to me could read it, I didn't think anyone else would be interested. But people were interested, so I kept … Continue reading Good bye 2015
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog. Here's an excerpt: The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 13,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many … Continue reading 2015 in review
So I just handed in my final paper. That's it, my first grad school class is officially over. I'm done, I can relax and enjoy my vacation, except... I still have to worry about my grades. My grade on my paper and my final grade on the class. But that doesn't matter now, what matters … Continue reading First Class: Done!
I found this post again, thanks to TimeHop. A few Christmases ago, this wasn't the only thing I was celebrating, it was being able to move again. I'm sorry if my doing this made anybody nervous (perdón Mami), but I just had to. I didn't want to wait for someone to help me, although … Continue reading My mission

The force awakened, it's with me and it helped me dig a little deeper into my lost memories.
WordPress are liars. What good is it having followers if they don't count multiple views from the same person, even if it's from a different post. They don't count the email views either so if they send you an email about my post, please go to my blog to read it. Oh, and then they … Continue reading WordPress are a bunch of liars
The day came, the day for the happiest 5k I’ve seen, Còrrelo, caminalo o ruedalo (Run it, walk it or roll it). The race began at four p.m. from the Sports and Recreation Center (Departamento de Recreación y Deportes) at Santurce, San Juan. From there we went through the streets in Santurce, some were closed … Continue reading Fourth time, Córrelo, caminalo o ruedalo
I had it all planned out, I was going to spend all day working on my final project, and I did, or I tried. I was in my house, sitting in front of my computer, with all the sources I have gathered in the last four weeks right there in front of me. For this … Continue reading Where did my ideas go?
This Sunday, I will complete my fifth 5k in 3 years. 5 in 3 years! I think that’s more than I have done in my lifetime. Before this I had done 2, maybe 3, but that’s it. Now, I've been running at least one 5k a year. It’s hard to believe that I would be … Continue reading Let’s do this!
It was about this time of year, three years ago, I was starting to walk again. I was walking with a the help of a walker most of the time, but there were a few times that I could take a few steps by myself. And I tried, and kept trying to walk. My therapists … Continue reading I tried to walk and I walked
I think we have all noticed that everyday people are spending more time looking at their mobile devices than at other people, or the world around them. If you haven’t, it’s probably because you have been looking at your phone. This not only takes you away from he real world, the world around you, but … Continue reading Better posture = better mood
