https://www.facebook.com/1620561711/videos/10221706218037629/I started as an officially enrolled student, through the University of Texas at Dallas.

However, I grew up partially in Round Rock, Texas where I spent some time at the University of Texas at Austin, as a younger person.

I have seen a lot of growth from the campuses that are under the University of Texas System umbrella.

Currently, I am only enrolled part-time for 4 hours of something, and they are asking us to do everything online. So we shall see how it goes.

Round Rock and San Antonio Texas is really where I developed my online identity as AndreaPhD while I was going through the PhD requirements to get a PhD in Statistics originally.

Yesterday I worked about 12 to 13 hours straight before taking a substantial break.

So on about 2 hours of sleep, I decided to park where I was told it was ok to park at the Tower Garage of the New Parkland Hospital that a friend from Les Femmes Du Monde asked me to write an article about the opening of, pretty sure it was around 2015.

In any case, today I will be taking the Pfizer vaccine at Parkland in Dallas Texas.

Rode the train up towards the airport and did some outlines for reporting so I can file my taxes.

Haven't had time to upload any of my content yet from my business-ey trip to Florida.

Made a video sort of about the "Coronavirus" after seeing reports that it had mutated without travel.

​

Froze one of my gym membership accounts until after I am fully vaccinated.

Looking at spaces for business projects.

​Until next time- Whatevers Clevers

Today we remember Martin Luther King Jr. While I have never met him, I have met his niece, I thought about making like a calendar type of a thing as a book in his memory for 365 days of non-violence that would commemorate what you could do instead of acts of violence from the principles we have learned from Martin Luther King Jr.

I am in the process of moving.

Really excited that I am going to be getting the Pfizer mRNA vaccine this Friday at Parkland Memorial Hospital Health System.

Alveda King is whom I met with at Southern Methodist University.

My (then) Dean of the University of Texas at Dallas, the late Bertland Moore, from what I understand, was someone who picked him up from one of the airports when Dr. King spoke.

Got to see parts of Florida in a few districts throughout Brevard and surrounding counties and cities.

Still needing to upload images of my trip.

Updated some content on LinkedIn this morning. About to go over a syllabus for one of the classes I am taking in the Spring.

Need to get back to a government contractor as to whether or not they need my services tomorrow for a while.

Went through about 6000 contacts and transferred about 643 to a real estate company that wanted me to start on a drip campaign on the residential side.

Was aware of the rally/protest/US Capitol turned into mob incident.

Our constitution says that a United State President can only be elected twice in their lifetime. 

I haven't really been that interested or passionate about Presidential runs, or how a "Bill becomes a Law", since the second grade when I first learned that there were no women Presidents that had been successful at winning the election for the Executive Branch position as Commander-in-chief. Perhaps I had a brief moment in 2012 when I wrote the constitution in a few foreign languages and explored where I tested politically as far as my views were concerned. 

It wasn't my election, so I have no personal hard feelings as to who won 2021 since I myself did not run.

My grandfather's brother wanted me to be a senator and was encouraging at a young age, but I thought you had to get a JD degree in order to write law and be elected into that type of a position, and I think for some women who can be a little more independent, regardless of their political views, would at least consider the thought- "why not me?" in terms of a Presidential Run and an Executive Power seat, for whatever reasons.

For me, it's not a personal "I need to be the first", my personal feelings of that type of a position is that it is embarrassing for women in the United States of America, to not have had this already taken care of, when other countries have done so, when you compare executive positions. 

Since I have never considered a Vice Presidential run, I do not have much memorized about those duties of office, other than, the Vice President gets to act in the President's position, if the President is unavailable.

For the Presidential position for running, the rules are that you have to have reached the age of 35, you have to have lived in the United States of America for the past 15 years, and you have to have been a "Natural-Born Citizen" at the time of birth on American soil.

So my personal reasons to ever consider doing something like that are more of answering a question, rather than chasing power, glory, or fame.

I actually thought President Trump was going to get bored and walk out at some point during his Presidency with all the drama that was associated with his relationships with the press.

I am a little surprised at some of my friends who are huge Trump supporters in their response to the election results in stating that he had no proof or evidence for the claims he made about voter fraud. 

I split my ticket, so while in 2016 I voted for Hillary Clinton and was shocked at the results, I voted Trump this time around, and then for about 2 men and the rest Women locally, because I felt like being biased.

I didn't have any interactions with Kamala Harris, and the only thing I know about Biden for the most part, is that he served under Obama. 

I think I got in one Libertarian that I recognized on the ballot, and one Independent, and couldn't find anyone I knew from the Green Party. The rest were Republicans and Democrats. 

It was my first time living and voting in Dallas County, I have lived in Bexar County (San Antonio), Williamson County (Austin, Texas)/Round Rock, Texas), Collin County (Richardson, Texas), and Monmouth County in NJ (New Jersey, where I was born) for most of my life. 

In any case, since I am not running for any public position where I have to represent my constituents, I am going to hop in the water and get ready to board a plane in a few hours, and figure out how to fix my car and repair some things around the apartment home, read my syllabus, ask any questions I might have, & perhaps look up what county 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is at in Washington D.C. for the District of Columbia.

I am geographically at a disadvantage because I have lived in Texas for most of my life. I used to know where all fifty states were.

I am about to leave Cape Canaveral, and enjoyed my time in Cocoa Beach and others parts of this state. 

I thought about driving out to Jacksonville where a former client was that said he talked to a director about putting my snort when I laugh sometimes in a movie, or down to Miami to see one of my friends that helped me with a rap song from a mechanical engineering paper that I infused with mathematics who is a DJ (disk jockey), but ended up staying relatively close in this vicinity. 

Didn't intend on staying the extra three days down here but was asked and convinced otherwise.

Was so worried about being asked to stay an extra amount of time for the SpaceX launch, but got to view some of it on one of the TV channels.

Blue Origin was a little sensitive when we were exploring them.

Learned a little about ULA and other Launch Complexes.

Picked up my dog after I got a ride home from the airport.

Left her stuff I think in the room at the SpringHill Suites in Cape Canaveral after I left Days Inn in Titusville.

They are having cleaning restrictions from COVID-19 so we have to wait to see where it was left, if any.

The violence at the U.S. Capitol building broke my heart and I cried for part of my flight home while I watched it from the news stations.

Had fell asleep the night before so I didn't get kept up to date with the rally that turned into a protect that became a mob mentality.

I have about a week to fix my car that went out of brakes, fix up my place and return the property, move into a new place by getting an approval with some documentation and work in between.

Got to talk to the Alamo Community College District where I first started taking online classes at an early age, through Northwest Vista and San Antonio College.

My puppy was happy to see me and I filled out some paperwork for her today and need to follow up with some more business things tomorrow.

Stayed up until shortly after midnight last night, even though I thought I was going to fall asleep early and not make it.

Shut my phone down for the 19th time in the past two years, but hey, you know what they say, tomorrow is another day- and guess what? We are here.

Dreams were very vivid last night. I am in Titusville, Florida and the surrounding areas until Jan 4th when I will fly back to Dallas, Texas.

Some of my more popular friends, or friends that deal with the public more often than I, have come down with or are being released from the hospital for COVID-19. Some of my friends have lost loved ones to the Coronavirus. One of the places that I have lived in, we have had a few cases of it, and one of the women that overcame it talked with me about her experience.

I was reading about the stigma for the pandemic, and people are taking it out on the homeless, health care workers, or those who have survived the virus. 

Now reading about the employment situation as a whole, and where we are in America, as far as the stats show, for the unemployment rate fluctuation.

Talking with someone from ADP to help me with some of my projects.

About to go get some exercise. 

Seeing if I can make a hard copy of a key with the icons and wording for the organizational tasks that I have assigned for business development.

Called to check on my puppy dog and they said that it was raining but other than that everything was ok back in Texas.

The airport was shut down for two hours by the FAA in the vicinity that I normally travel to when I am in North Texas so they could decontaminate some positive case areas.

For pilots, they are requesting that they take two days off after getting vaccinations. 

I called around to see how they were going to be doing the giving of the vaccines to the general public & have been reading the differences in the vaccines.

I think last year was a turbulent time for the whole world, and that is why it is important to learn from tragedies of the past, but not to live in them.

For all the injuries I personally suffered in 2020, I am taking them with a grain of salt. 

Looking forward to the future, and in planning a pregnancy at some point, and having a daughter.

Finishing up some paperwork in between things out here in Florida.

I also sent in some projects to find space for commercial related activities for businesses through one of the companies.

Scheduled to go back to school starting in January. 

Got a few gig offers for some other things. One was a contract through a company that is helping with New York Health State Department do vaccination related items, and the other was a separate book offer, from books that I have listed I am interested in writing/publishing/organizing.

Was going to take an hour nap last night and get up and move around but fell asleep. 

Was dreaming about my father and some medical college stuff and things in Spanish.

Got an email from an accounting firm for PPP2 that hasn't been passed into a bill yet.

Finally reported a car accident where I was in Tornado weather at the beginning of the year. They want me to submit time off verification because I am covered for some medical expenses and time off from work they said.

My car was acting up and I think it was related to the accident, but it might not be, my mother helped me fix a lot of stuff that went wrong on the car, and then some friends that are jet mechanics worked on the rest, and then another person who is a former ATP pilot.

I only have liability so I didn't think it was worth reporting because I spun into on coming traffic and hit a wall and started driving the automatic like it was a standard all the way home.

My dog kinda nipped/bit at the Marine that was trying to kiss me who had been working on my car at Jet Tech out in Fort Worth.

There wasn't much blood.... We won't go into that.

Let's talk about something else....

I am happy there are vaccines against COVID-19 that have new technology that do not destruct DNA. Some of my friends are not thrilled that I want to take one. They are against getting vaccinated, or they do not trust the government and want to see what happens.

I haven't been able to loo up "Herd Immunity" yet. I am assuming Dr. Fauci is not referring to us as "Cattle" even if that is what we as humans sometimes feel like in our groups and populations for whatever reason.

I can only attest to having been a very sickly infant and child that was allergic to everything and I had to get over food allergies and such in order to survive that having reactions when you are allergic to something that you can develop an immunity to is never a fun process and is more of a growing pain.

That being said, I do not have any fears of what would happen if I was to take a vaccine, and that includes the rumors I hear from the anti-vaccine community that vaccines cause Autism.

& even if they did, I am into CRISPER, so when it comes to developmental disorders or diseases, I would just assume edit out some of that, but then again, some parents might want to keep some of those things that make their offspring unique, and I am not one to judge, so my opinion doesn't really matter anyways on the topic

I have to get back

​Let's have a better year 2021

Worked about 20 hours the night before

Slept 2 hours sort of on the airplane

Time zone changed so I thought I was going to get 4 hours of sleep on the aircraft

Ate at an IHOP

Knocked over a Dell computer with my laptop bag by accident because I thought the plastic was attached to something in front of me

I joked and said that I thought it was bullet-proof glass because I have been talking so much with my friend that is a newly certified fire-arms instructor, the lady laughed

Slept on and off for a good amount of time like in between 10-14 hours (got up throughout the night)

Got up and ate breakfast in my room

Brought in my bags

Going over my notes in the US AIR FORCE Health Professions airforce.com/healthcare mini-journal they gave to me

Structurally outlined components of organizational behavior tasks to companies through folders with topics and then Numbers spreedsheets with icons for mini-notes

Took some vitamins and supplements 

Checked in with my friend that convinced me to come out here for the week by leaving a message and then turning off my phone

About to go drive around to see where I am officially at

I know I am in Titusville, Florida somewhere

Scheduling maintenance for my laptop for about a week when I get back (the audio is out and we already troubleshoot'd it I have to reinstall software and such)

About to go get some exercise

Jumped into my workout gear

Happy New Year!

GiveAnHour.org

Recently, I was going through my contacts, and one of them wanted me to take a look at "Give An Hour".

I won't go into what context my contact referred the non-profit, but I will say that I am looking into possibly moving back up north where I was born, and this organization covers NY, NJ, and CT hospital people.

I have been in Texas since 1989. My ancestors also founded Texas. Sometimes I feel left out that I was not born here, and maybe I am treated different, but most tell me that since I have been here more than 25 years, I am a Native Texan, and since my ancestors help found it, same thing.

Either way, it doesn't snow very often down here. I miss running into the snow as a young child.

When hurricane Sandy hit the upper coast I was devastated because I remembered my feet on the beach in the sand, and it had washed it all away.

So, how's the weather in Texas, you ask?

Well,

I think it's sporadic. It can be sunny one day with warm temperatures, and suddenly change in the next. 

To my recollection it has snowed 4 times of record significantly in the past 31 years of my life being here.

I broke up with one of my friends last night. Not that it matters, even if it hurts. I should have stopped trusting both of them in High School when they pointed at me when the press showed up and blamed me for things I never did. 

Moving on, I suppose I let go of more than one of my best friends from high school last night too. One of my boyfriends and I travelled to Austin, Texas and back so he could do something & we tried putting him on my lease but it got complicated.

Breaking up can be hard, especially in a pandemic. 

My sleep was altered a little last night.

I am scheduled to meet someone for December 28th- Jan 4th in Florida.

I don't know if I will actually go.

I don't travel much outside of Texas on my own, but I am learning.

The United Kingdom shut down due to a new Coronavirus and it broke my heart the day before yesterday.
​
I am working with something called a "Common App" that allows you to transfer to Universities in their system, some of them for free, some of them for a fee.

I applied to go back to school for my Medical Neuroscience degree. I am not having second thoughts about becoming a doctor, but I am having second thoughts about my healthcare. When I made up my own "hippocratic oath" I had researched some generations before me, and did some stupid writings of my own, and even had a candle in the bathroom. It's really silly. It was a longer time ago than I thought I would be reflecting on.

I am pretty firm in taking responsibility for my thoughts and actions, so my main beef with having to go through some of the rigors of working with doctor's in their respective fields, is, for the record I have, their ability to attempt to script me into any belief that I never held.

I won't make too much of a stink about it.

You know, men have been blaming me for a long time that I am "making them think" but it's rare that I run into men who tell me what I should think, or how I need to think, if it is their line of thinking.

For Hurricane Harvey, I volunteered after having some white coat from a local medical college for about a year and a half, working towards my research side, and said, I am not a doctor yet, but if you deploy me I will treat all the male doctors like they are nurses.

That didn't go over very well.

My military friends who have served, where I have not, are trying to repair my broken ego over the matter. I appreciate their efforts, but it won't change history. It's always his story, isn't it?

I had a psychiatrist ask me about my background for psychiatry. I told him I never looked into any of that, because on the psychology side it was Research and Design, but in truth, I used to be obsessed in reading a diagnostic criteria manual DSM from 1976.

I fell out of love with psychiatry somewhere along the way.

One of the research clinicians, or well someone trying to convince me to follow that path, she and I discussed schools of thought concerning neurofeedback, which I am a fan of. I have a silly list in one of my school system folders titled "ADHD, Brain Imaging for Therapeutics, ExeCutive FunTheory, Neurof & Schizophrenia or Bipolar, Neurofeedback & PTSD, NeuOptimal, Nf & Addiction, NF & Criminal Justice, NF & TBI, NFt & Phanton Pain, Occipital Theory, etc"

Was collecting journal articles and taking educated guessed for brain functioning processes in specific populations.

I was really happy to hear that vaccines are here. 

Guess I need to do some maintenance and applications to see where I am going from here.

Right now the United States of America is going through a pandemic that came from China and spread throughout the world.

Here in Texas, we have a mandatory mask policy.

I miss my son, & look forward to the future when we have a vaccine for Coronavirus Covid-19.

Been working on business ideas and preparing to go back to school.

On my birthday I did not celebrate, I was writing music. 

As of 7/2/2020 I am 7 songs away from 50% of my goal.
