Stand By
This week has been more trying than I can explain. Everything that could go wrong has. Missed as much class as I caught. Transportation dropping the ball, the school not getting their ducks in a row, me not getting lunch at all most of the week, not getting to...
Disabled Chronicles, No.75
They say the last thing to go when you die is your sense of sound. I remember this from the story being told of a retiring EMT who went out on his last call of his last shift. His unit was called out to a bridge, where a young man was standing on the rail. The...
Small Stuff
There is a slight statured, East Asian young man who works at the law school library and who opens the door for me when it is his shift to work. He is mahogany skinned, has a head full of dark, thick hair and has doleful brown eyes. He takes his work of roaming the...
Disabled Chronicles, No.32
Disabled Chronicles, No.32: I understand why I seem like a delicate flower when you look at me. I understand how I look to you. How my lack of mobility causes concern. How my arms and hands and fingers don’t move enough to convince you that I can do much of anything...
Impostor Syndrome
So… this impostor syndrome is rising up. I’m wondering who it is I think I am to be anyone’s lawyer. Or how exactly do I think my SMA hands/body are gonna make it through this program. I’m thinking this is a mistake and maybe I shouldn’t be doing this. I’m wondering...

First Week of School ReDux
First Week of School ReDux: After the absolute disaster that was school last week, We gonna try again. I almost came to the decision to quit last week - it was that bad. Between over-promises of services and transportation woes, I didn’t think continuing was a good...
Worse
Good nights rest. Pizza for breakfast. This morning seems worse than yesterday. STS computer systems are down. So I decided to take the metro bus to the little FIU campus so I can get to big FIU and I missed the 9am Big FIU bus. The next one is at 10am. Class starts...
Terrible
The first day of school was pretty terrible. STS took 4 HOURS to get me there. I missed my first class. So I’ll be extra lost until I go to office hours. I may not have help with my lunch times after all. I have group work already. Save the front door opener (which...
Law School Diaries, No.996
Law School Diaries, No.996: It is a lot. So much more work than I could imagine. I am plowing through (save this break) and it is still daunting. I have a stress induced cold (I did a home test - it is NOT COVID thankfully), Mother Nature is visiting, my body...
Law School Diaries, No.997
Law School Diaries, No.997: I gave FIU Law the pieces of me that were left after the soul shattering events of 2020… and that may have been the best decision I’ve made yet I have not had so much support to succeed from anyone except Shara (and how COULD I neglect to...
