Student/Retiree ... that's my job title these days. Recently, during the break between Summer School and Fall Semester, I worked about four days on Stranger Things, filming in New Mexico, at that time. I share this, to say that was my first job, since October 2018, when I wrapped Midnight, Texas. After I changed my heart about becoming a Realtor, but only after, I spent all my savings, I floundered for that Spring of 2019. Shortly after Mother's Day, I finally knew what I needed to do.

I had promised my mother, I would finish my degree ... one of these days ... and so, I went back to college, age 62, that Summer of 2019. I would finish two certificates: General Business and Project Management and two Associates Degrees: Integrated Studies and Business Administration/Project Management but just one month before graduation, my Mother passed away, right after Thanksgiving. I thought about quitting, but since I had come so far, and since COVID was just intensifying, I thought it best to just stay the course and work on my Bachelor's at #UNM.

So here I am, today, one semester to graduation, May 2022. I just registered for my final classes. Since unemployment ran out in September, I've been living on my early retirement (reduced till I'm 66) and savings, which I wiped out, with an unexpected car repair.

Today, that spirit of quit was bubbling in my spirit, again, because I'm just tired of barely getting by, and studying under these conditions. Then, a knock on my door, and this plaque was delivered. This is not an Honor Society you can just join. You have to be INVITED. And you need at least a 3.70 GPA.

Presently, I have a 3.90.

I felt my mother as I opened the box. While it's not the diploma I promised, it's a reminder that I may not have all I need, today, but I'm equipped for this journey and if I continue to do my BEST, I've got a feeling, everything is gonna be alright.

Thanks for the gentle push, Mama. I will find the strength (resources) to finish strong.

I promise.

Your Baby Boy.

i think Lalo needs to meet everyone else in the supporting/minor cast now... Lalo and the UNM film students. Lalo and Irene. Lalo and Cliff Main. Lalo and Kevin Wachtell.

i loved tony dalton casually saying that he was glad to work with patrick fabian because he was the only main cast member he hadn't had a scene with yet... when this cast has so many combinations of characters who have never had scenes together and never will LOL Lalo on his main character shit.

9/3/2018

Things have been quite a ride since I last wrote here.

I did manage to survive the spring semester, if that is what you are wondering. I had to drop calc and physics, and take a medical withdrawal for linear algebra, but I ended up passing intro to engineering, engineering success, computer science, and latin sol immersion. Although I did make it through the semester, I am afraid it was to my detriment. Forcing myself to go through that simply wasn’t worth the sacrifice of my mental health. I’m fairly certain that I walked away with some trauma, both from specific events but also as a general effect of the constant, drawn out stress. I never quite got used to the noise at the apartment (I found out why, which is what I’ll talk about later), and I never quite made any friends, with the exception of Taksha. Although I was somewhat proud to finish my classes, I was much too drained to really appreciate that I had made it. And, of course, any positive emotion I would have felt was taken away by the unexpected news that VR wouldn’t cover rent during the summer (which I wasn’t aware of, nor was prepared for). So, because I couldn’t come up with $1,000 in rent in two weeks, I went back to Santa Fe to stay with Shawn.

Although our relationship had almost completely fallen apart over the spring semester, returning to Santa Fe was an attractive (and probably my only) option at the time. My parents had moved out of their house to a campsite in June, rendering themselves technically homeless. I was at a negative balance both emotionally and financially, so I figured a familiar and low-key place would do me good. To this day, I’m not certain if it was really the best choice, because these past few months have been incredibly difficult. But, I guess it makes no sense to dwell on it. Just need to find a solution and move on.

In June, after we took a trip to Florida and Disney World, I started modeling by being a part of Santa Fe Fashion Week’s runway show. I simply sent the director a DM and he put me in the show. It was a great experience and I learned a lot. After that, in late June through July, I then began working in background for television shows in New Mexico. I was featured background as a “cheerleader” and “high school student” for the new netflix show Chambers, background for Midnight Texas, and background for Messiah. I also had a small acting role in Midnight Texas as a ghost witch. I think I may get IMDB credit for it. In late July/early August I began a 4 week job as a stand in for the main actress in a movie for Netflix called Walk Ride Rodeo. I also appeared in the background in several scenes as a nurse, a patient, and rodeo-goer. The hours were long and hard and I struggled to get through it. It was 5 days a week, for about 14 hours a day. I made decent money, but the exhaustion and the lack of free time made it hard to be worth it. Once that movie was over, I moved on to some more modeling with the RD3 Elite fashion show, and then I attended two casting calls. On one casting call, I was hired on the spot to do photos for the covers of romance novels. I am still waiting to hear back on the other one, so cross your fingers. If I get it, I will be part of a traveling fashion show out of LA (and it’s paid). Although all these experiences would be exciting for anyone, I have a hard time even feeling anything due to my mental state. It’s frustrating because I would like to appreciate it, but I can’t seem to right now.

Aside from those activities, my summer has been relatively uneventful. I have struggled to get through every day. It has been hard to process all the traumas from the spring semester. Things with Shawn have been rocky, which is both a cause and effect of my perpetuated mood issues. I finally decided to seek help during the last week of August, when I couldn’t stop crying all week. I think the long hours on the movie finally broke me down. I decided to go to the ER to be evaluated. They had me stay overnight and I spoke to a few counselors and psychiatrists. We agreed that a likely cause for my symptoms was the Nexplanon implant, so we made a plan to get it removed at the women’s clinic the following week. The doctor also got me in to see a reputable psychiatrist the next week, who formally diagnosed me with PTSD (as opposed to the typical depression/anxiety diagnosis I was given previously). I started two new medications that are supposed to address PTSD specifically, so I am hopeful that it will be effective. I also did get my Nexplanon removed, but because I was so anxious and the implant was very deep, I had to be given Xanax and Oxycodone to get through the procedure. I think seeing that finally seeing that bloody thing in the tweezers in the doctor’s hand was one of the most relieving moments of my life! It is still too soon to tell if the removal of the nexplanon plus the addition of the drugs has helped me very much (its been less than a week), but statistical information has me hopeful.

The biggest thing on my plate right now (aside from healing from PTSD) is now deciding whether or not to return to ASU or become a resident of New Mexico. Both situations have ample pros and cons. At ASU I would be closer to my family, and I would have the climate that I want. I also have a nagging suspicion that if my symptoms get under control, a lot of personal growth could occur there (at least, in the way I want it to). Also, there is something to be said about the youthful and vibrant culture that surrounds Tempe. However, staying in New Mexico could be good as well. There are several schools to choose from that are all reputable and more affordable than ASU. It is also less populated and therefore more peaceful out here. I would also remain close to Shawn, which is good if we decide to remain together. New Mexico also has a lot of modeling and film industry, as well as two national labs, so if I want, I do have a successful double life as a STEM person as well as an entertainment person. Additionally, the medicare in New Mexico has much better coverage and includes dental and vision (which AZ medicare lacks), so if I get medicare here, I can get my broken tooth fixed, which could save me a few thousand dollars. As you can see, both options seem fairly attractive. There are many cons to each option, however. For ASU, they are kind of obvious: if I can’t get my symptoms under control, I will end up overwhelmed just like the spring semester. It is also very busy and chaotic, which may simply may not be the best for me, regardless of mental health. I would also be far away from Shawn, which would really strain the relationship, as well as my emotional state, and could end up forcing us to split. I would also need to know exactly which major to pursue in order to secure VR funding, and there is no guarantee that the funding will be enough to guarantee a comfortable existence, due to the rising costs and the lowering funds available from VR. As far as New Mexico goes, by staying here I would be far away from my family. Although my family does stress me out sometimes, I do like to be close to them so that we can be there for each other (especially now, as things are stressful for all of us). I am also not entirely sure if I like UNM or Albuquerque yet. There is also the fact that if I get residency here (in order to get medicaid and such) I would lose my AZ residency and VR funding, which would make it very difficult to return to ASU if I change my mind. I am not quite sure if I am comfortable with cutting the AZ ties just yet. Another fear I have about staying in NM is, what if Shawn and I end up splitting anyway? It would be extremely difficult to live in the same town if we were no longer together. Just the thought of potentially seeing him with someone else tears me apart.

In general, this is a very huge decision. I would be lying if I said I felt equipped to handle such a major life decision. I have a difficult enough time deciding what drink to order at Starbucks (even though I always get the same thing), so deciding where I want to live and study for the next two years is extremely overwhelming. I am very distressed by it. Part of me just wants to be a kid again so I don’t have to be burdened by all these thoughts. I am far too aware, and worried of, all the implications that come with each possible route. All of this, combined with the fact that I don’t have much money, makes things seem impossible. I can’t even pay rent right now, so how could I possibly decide where to settle in for school? Do I even want to go to school any more? Do I even have a choice? Maybe I should run away and travel the world. But without money? Maybe I should just drop out and work and make lots of money. But how? And with what mental health? I guess the only place I can start is by listing my basic needs, which would need to be fulfilled regardless of location, and then selecting location based on what would be best suited for my needs.

As far as I know my needs include: healthcare coverage, adequate mental health/psychiatric support, friends, access to high calibur dance training, proximity to family, proximity to shawn, access to further STEM exploration and employment, a low stress living environment, quiet home, either living alone or with good roommates, a degree program that is fun and not too stressful, opportunities in modeling and entertainment, a structured schedule that allows for creative expression and self care. I would type more, but my brain fog is starting to set in (along with a headache).

Hopefully I will be able to reach a decision soon. Perhaps I am struggling because I am attempting to intuit a decision instead of making hard, conscious choices for myself. I’ve always preferred going with my gut, because I am terrified of making a conscious decision that ends up going wrong. I would rather blame god than blame myself.

Best things to do in Hamburg including Beatles tour and the world

Germany’s second largest metropolis Hamburg is an incredible destination with masses to offer.

At the same time as possibly now not as mentioned or reducing facet as Berlin, it is a numerous location with something for each person to revel in.

All through the day you may marvel at the workings of the still lively port and take boat tours at the River Elbe.

The Speicherstadt warehouse district has seen implementing crimson brick buildings transformed into museums and points of interest, all linked by using a number of the metropolis’s awesome 2,500 bridges.

At night time the St Pauli location gives cutting-edge bars and restaurants While the racier Reeperbahn avenue offers the kind of crimson mild environment you would associate with Amsterdam.

The query is, where to begin? Right here we suggest five of the excellent matters you can do while you’re on the town.

It would be the borderline crook to return to Germany and now not pattern some of their incredible beers

And in which better to start than on a brewery excursion?

Ratsherrn has been working inside the center of the Hamburg Schanzen-Höfe considering that 2012, creating a variety of craft beers that celebrate the metropolis’s long history of creating booze.

Maximum tours are in German – now not that alcohol doesn’t cross the language barrier – but they’re available in English too furnished there are more than 10 human beings concerned.

Regardless of your native tongue, you may get to revel in a wide range of samples created on the web page from dark beer to white beer and the entirety in between.

And possibly unsurprisingly, you may come upon the occasional stag organization…

Each band learns the ropes someplace, and with the Beatles, it was in Hamburg.

A Short Hiking Route in Hamburg, Germany, From the Old Swede to the Stairs Quarter

A quick experience to Hamburg is commonly a go to at the commonplace attractions which includes Lake Alster, the port, St. Michaelis Church, the buying streets and within the night – the red-light district. The fact that an excellent river, the Elbe, crosses Hamburg normally does no longer inspire a unique impression.

But, if we decide to stay longer than someday in the city, hiking alongside the river financial institution need to be taken into consideration. A stunning 14-mile length hiking trail referred to as “the Elbe course” begins at the neighborhood Oevelgoenne, and continues west along the north bank of the river, ending at the suburb of Wedel in the west.

It’s advocated to reach Oevelgoenne aboard a ferry boat. A ferry line starts at the Landungsbruecken, the famous floating docks of the St. Pauli neighborhood. They’re placed in the Port of Hamburg, near the doorway to the vintage Elbe Tunnel.

Unique pure sands

The ferry passes on its way north near the dock 17 of the giant shipyard Blohm & Voss, founded in 1877. It manufactures all forms of boats – from yachts to warships.

Later we pass through the seashore of Hamburg, called the”Elbe seashore.” Waves crashing softly to the sand remind us unusual beaches shown in the films. Staying here on a clean day of the summer season isn’t always a terrible idea.

The seashore was open to the public 1973 in Oevelgoenne. The sand isn’t always of the sort imported, like in Berlin, for example, however a pure herbal sand which was carried by the tides of the river Elbe from the North Sea, sixty-two miles away.

At the primary prevent, we get down. The region is close to the fish market in Altona, west of St. Pauli. Mass of citizens and tourists come every Sunday to see the fish auctions, which take area at 5 AM. There’s no factor going there at some stage in the relaxation of the week.

The person in black pants

We begin making our way taking walks, on the seashore. As referred to, we start in Oevelgoenne. Previously more often than not sailors and fishermen lived in the neighborhood. Numerous houses, which had been constructed within the 18th and 19th century, are nevertheless seen right here. These are a small circle of relatives houses, with gardens of roses and lilac, and here and there with a boat anchorage.

On weekends many tourists come here. The width of the river close to Oevelgoenne is 0.three mile. The sandy seashore here is wider than before, and lots of residents arrive at the location during the summer weekends for a picnic or barbecue, or simply to loosen up.

Within the beyond, studies on walnuts have shown beneficial effects on many health outcomes like heart sickness

Diabetes, and obesity. Our take a look at turned into one-of-a-kind because we focused on cognition, and in this controlled randomized trial (CRT) we measured mood results in males and females,” said Pribis.

The participants protected sixty-four college students among a long time of 18 and 25 and belonged to diverse ethnic corporations like Caucasian, African American, Hispanic and Asian.

The researchers conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, move-over feeding trial with walnuts on the scholars for eight weeks. the scholars have been given three slices of banana bread every day for sixteen weeks, 8 weeks of banana bread with walnuts and 8 weeks of banana bread without walnuts. the scholars weren’t able to differentiate between the tastes because the nuts have been finely floor into the dough, making the banana bread come to be similar in taste and appearance. the scholars had been given half of a cup of walnuts daily even as ingesting banana bread with walnuts.
