So, today I finally finished evaluating the first MMPI, this one was from a patient that I wrote a few weeks ago (I think :P), and as I said he has nothing, everything went well, I only had to confirm what I already knew from the interviews, and how am I sure that he isn't lying? Well, if you remember I said that this test had more than 500 questions, well that is because it is so complete that it even evaluates how likely he is to lie, and that would invalidate the test from the start.
Tomorrow I will talk with and give him the results and discuss if there is anything else to do. I don't think he'll want to work with anything since he wasn't going there on his own, but because his mom asked him to.

Traditional food...
So, I am not very fond of traditions, but something I can't let pass is the traditional foods (at least some of them), today I had some "Pan de Muerto" with hot chocolate and it was awesome, and with this weather it tastes even better... and that's it :P
Lazy...
I didn't do anything today, I only tried to clean my room but I didn't finish and made half the laundry I had to. Blergh... I will finish tomorrow, I really needed to rest, last week was very busy and I was very tired... am very tired. I am going to sleep with the lights on because I don't want to stand up and turn them off and I don't have anything to throw at it :P

Sometimes you eat a Wendy's burger...
...at the cinema.
So, today was one of those long days that I am out all day, but today was a bit different, I went job hunting with my friend Michelle, we went to some schools to leave our resumes. I got to her house at 9:00 in the morning and I already knew to what schools go to leave our resumes, but we went to others that were on the way or that we remembered were near.
We went to 6 schools in total for the moment, and I am going to another one tomorrow or next Monday (this one is near my house), the last one we went was near Galerias Tec, we went there and after leaving our resumes I saw a guy selling Elotes en vaso, I bought two and damn, they were good.
Before going to Galerias Michelle asked me if we could go and buy some coffee and I accepted, but it was late and we were getting hungry so I invited to eat, we got to Galerias and we were going to the school first and then to eat, but that smell, you know which one, seduced us and we decided to go to see a movie, we saw which ones they were showing and decided to see either Moneyball, Crazy Stupid Love or Abduction.
We asked for tickets for Moneyball first and Crazy Stupid Love but they were a little late (past 4 each) and we bought tickets for Abduction, this was at around 12:20 or 12:30 and then we went to our last school of the day, while we were going there or on our way back we were talking and realized that we choose the that movie because we both thought that the other one didn't have enough time to wait for the other movie.
We decided to see if we could change the tickets for any of the other movies because they looked more interesting, luckily we got to change them to Crazy Stupid Love, well, now we had a lot of time before the movie, since we were tired of walking all morning we just stayed in Galerias for a while.
After resting a little we went to take some air to a nearby park, but we still had a problem, we were hungry, I got some sweet bread to eat if we got hungry, but it wasn't enough, we were going to buy some popcorn but that wouldn't be enough, so we decided to go to Wendy's but we didn't felt like eating in there, no, we wanted to eat while watching the movie, so we made some room in Michelle's purse and we got our burgers there. And I got a pair of juice bottles in my pockets.
We ate while watching the movie and it was great, after that I accompanied her to her house and then went to my regular meeting from the Colegio and got home at around 10:30. A very productive day, and a lot of fun too. And now I am falling sleep, so good night.

Over...
I finally finished my paperwork with the SAT (at least the ones I needed for now) after 4 visits, the first time I went to register my RFC (registro federal de contribuyentes), I needed that to get paid in CAPSIC since I am working there as a freelancer, but since I didn't knew what to do I only went there, bad choice, I had to schedule a date first at their website. No problem I did it for next week, I still had time.
After scheduling the date (it was for this Tuesday) I had to confirm it via website, but I had to do it two days after scheduling it (it doesn't happen if the date is the same week or 1 or 2 days after) and since I wasn't home almost all day that day it got cancelled... that sucked, but I re-scheduled another but for this Monday (a day before the first one) since there was now some free spots that day (maybe some people got cancelled like I did).
This day (Monday) I got there ready to get my RFC, I got my number, got in the queue and after some minutes I got with a representative and he told me that I was already registered (I really didn't knew that) since the first time I worked. I asked him what I had to do to get my fee receipts and he told me that I had to process my FIEL (firma electrónica).
I asked the guy if I could get it there and he told me that I had to make another appointment and see if there was a spot open that day, I didn't had time so I scheduled one for the next day, next day I got there get my FIEL (firma electrónica), I went in pretty quickly, was the only one at that hour and thought that it would be fast, and there was another problem... apparently I still had the address from my first job, so now I had to make another appointment to change it, luckily I had what I needed to make the change, but the appointment was till 11:00 a.m. (I got there at 9:00 in the morning) so I had to wait there, I thought it would be quick so I made an appointment to process my FIEL at 11:30, smart, don't you think? Well it wasn't, I got to change my address at 11:30, when it was already 11:25 I thought that I wouldn't make it for the next appointment so I canceled it.
I finished the address change almost at 12:00 and I had to get going for CAPSIC, I got there before my patient and I scheduled another date for next day (today), I had everything I needed to process my FIEL and be over with. Today I got there in time (just barely), the bus was kinda slow and I had to run a little to get in time (they only give 5 minutes of tolerance, if you aren't there your date gets cancelled, and after 2 cancels you can't make another one for some time), this time everything was right and I got out pretty quickly. Finally over with SAT... at least for the time being >.<

Burden...
I finally took a burden off my shoulders, I really wasn't getting anywhere with one of the projects I was helping in my association, unfortunately I had to leave it for someone else to work with that, it wasn't easy, but there was nothing I could do about it, I could have dedicated more time to it, but I choose to dedicate my time to Hitosoft, I didn't think it would take so much time... or that I would dedicate so much time to it, but I really enjoy it.
I do feel a little bad because of that, when I started this I thought that I would be able to do everything, unfortunately I did not, and I must learn to take what I can and don't over burden myself. On the other hand, when I started this project I was only supposed to do the written part, not actually go to institutions and request donations for CAPSIC, I did the written part, didn't finish it, but I only left the administrative part blank, which I didn't know a thing. I did learn some things, but I don't feel that I will be using them, unless I form a nonprofit organization :P.

Doomsayer...
Today while going to the SAT (Servicio de Administracion Tributaria) a guy got in the bus, I didn't notice him until a song finished from my cellphone (you know how long it can take for a song to finish :P, Dream Theater ftw), so, when I started hearing what the guy was saying I was already near my destination, but I could hear him speaking of the end of times, that you should accept Jesus as your savior or you would burn in hell, and all that shit.
I was just laughing and hearing what he was saying, at some point he starts saying that people should watch certain movie (2012), that even if "it wasn't accurate" that might happen to us, but only if you accept Jesus as your savior you would be saved, I couldn't stop laughing at that point, he didn't notice tough, there was so many people at the bus that even I couldn't see him, I only heard him.
Seriously how people can still believe in that kind of things? I remember that I read about 2012 when I was like 16 or so, but it was more of a pseudo science book that explained what the mayas "knew" that would happen and why, it didn't say anything about the end of the world or anything, but rather about a "change", then moved a long and forgot about it, it wasn't anything special, I remember it talked about the electromagnetic fields and sunspots or something like that, interesting when I read it, and so different to what every nut now claims as truth. If this world is going to end is because of people like that, spreading the hate, intolerance and fear among people.
I tried to record him but the sound was awful, you can't understand much, maybe next time :P

TeamViewer...
I had my first presentation over internet, we weren't able to get together at hitosoft and we had to present our respective projects, but thanks to the internet we were able to still present it, we used google + and TeamViewer for that purpose, it feels weird, and luckily I didn't disconnect the whole session. With TeamViewer I was able to show what was on my desktop and what I was doing, showing some examples of what I want without having to link everything or send images, pretty helpful.
Even though I wasn't prepared to give my presentation it helped showing them and explaining it over the microphone instead of having to write everything. Still I have to finish the document with descriptions and images of how I want it, but thanks to this I didn't delay the project presentation.

Work schedule...
So, I am going to be the "project leader" for one of the projects we have at HitoSoft, this one is for the website for the "Colegio de Psicologos" (I don't remember if I already said this, so spare me if I did :P), and because of that I have to design how it will be done, what will it have, what we need for it to work, and some other things that I'll probably learn tomorrow when I finish writing the first part :P
I have been thinking all day how to build the site, what do we need, how should it work and how would I like it to look, so I can present it to the rest of the team tomorrow and assign the tasks that each will have to work, and put a deadline for our goals, there are many things that I didn't knew that I had to take into consideration before building a site from scratch, this is going to be fun.

Appointment...
Today I was supposed to go to a meeting with a possible client for CAPSIC, it was unofficial, I still have till next week to go, but I wanted to do this fast and see what it might be, unfortunately I didn't have the phone of the school (I was supposed to, but I forgot to ask when I got there a few months ago), and I really didn't know exactly where it was since I went there with a co-worker (in his car), luckily I found it thanks to google maps (after a few minutes of searching in street view I found it), but the principal of the school wasn't there, I should have made an appointment, but I didn't have the phone >.<, at least I made one for tomorrow.
Lets see how it goes...

Limoneros...
Today was an awesome day, I worked a little in the morning and then went to the house of my friend Michelle, we were going out to a cafe, we got a little late there because we had to finish something from our project, a little side bar menu that had to be changed at the last moment, we finished quickly and went to take the bus to go to the cafe by the name of "Limoneros", this particular cafe was new for us, I didn't know where it was exactly, but I had heard that it was a cool place from a friend.
The only thing I knew the location was that it was near "Tec de Monterrey", and that it was in the "Thomas Fernandez" avenue, but other than that google didn't help much. So we did the natural thing (not too natural in normal people I think) and asked people about it, the first person knew where it was, not too far away from where we were, so we got there and asked for the menu since we were starving :P, the place looked good, the food looked nice and all, and the drinks and desserts too.
Lucky us they had a special (well, this is almost all weekdays, except weekends) for a sandwich a salad, a cold salad and a drink (which I must say that was freaking awesome, a natural lemonade with mineral water), actually all the food was good, and it was a lot, we both got satisfied with it... actually we got pretty full :P, and it was worth it, and the best part was that it was cheap, it was like 65 pesos for all that (for each), I pay almost the same at wendy's and I don't get that satisfied :P, we wanted to try some desserts but we were pretty full, so we took a walk before that.
After eating we wanted to go to a park, but there was none, so we got to a place where there was some grass and shadow and settled there and talked for a while, after that we went there again for a dessert, I asked for an apple strudel and a drink by the name of "una mentada" and Michelle asked for a kozobo (or something like that) which is the specialty there (according to the person that attended us who looked like the owner :P) and something like a lemon pie.
Both desserts were pretty awesome, and the drinks too, from what I remember they were express coffee with condensed milk, ice and probably something else, mine had mint too, that was the only difference between our drinks, lol, but it made some difference (I think it was mint liquor, not just mint :P), we spend more in the desserts than in the food, but they were good too, so I don't feel scammed XD.
All in all an awesome day at "Limoneros", I enjoyed everything there.
Oh, and finally our project got presented to the client, we saw our other friend that works with us at hitosoft after he presented it and told us that the client was satisfied with it, he wants some other things for it, but that is another history :P
P.S.:
I will try to take more photos next time :P

Rest...
Yesterday and today I finally got to rest a little more than I had been doing lately (I wanted to rest this Monday, too, but unfortunately I had to be all day in CAPSIC, so one day less :P), since we finished our project (from Hitosoft) this Sunday and haven't started any new one, I am resting at least a little, I still have to finish the user manual for the part I made and then integrate it with the other parts, check that it looks consistent in the language, that it says what it should, etc, after that I have to make a video tutorial of how to use our software, luckily this will be finished by this Sunday, and then, since I will be the "leader of the project" for the website for the "Colegio de Psicologos", I have to present our work plan, but I still have time for that (to clarify, I am not procrastinating this time, I am working in this, just not all day :P), so I will try to rest a little more, then work again.
I am looking forward to our projects, we are going to redesign and update our website too (since we learned a lot with this last project we feel comfortable to redesign it and add new features too), but that is another story for later.

Success!!!
Even though yesterday and today mainly sucked, I feel very well, today I worked with both my patients, the first one is the one I have been working for like 10 weeks or so, the second one just 4, and he is still under evaluation since he didn't came here for a reason (I am going to make an evaluation to him to see if there is anything with him that clinically needs work, still with interviews and tests).
Well, I didn't have much prepared for my first patient for today, just to continue working with the things we have been working for the last couple of sessions, after this, and because we ended pretty quickly I wanted to evaluate his progress, and according to him there has been some change, his goals are far from met, but there is an improvement, I can't say much about it here because I would be breaking his privacy, but everything he said was confirmed by his mother after the session, I felt very happy because his mom told me that she has seen the improvement and they have fewer problems between them.
I cannot describe how happy it made me, especially since I can't see much with my other patients, but I know that this is normal, I have 4 patients in total right now, I have been working with the first one for two and a half months, and the other three I only have like a month with each, I will start working with them in two or three more sessions once we are finished with the evaluations. And I am still waiting for another patient (a friend of one of the new ones) that still doesn't feel comfortable to start (he always comes with his friend, but he doesn't seem to want to work himself :P).

Bender...
Unfortunately I am not talking about this guy, but rather the Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test, an instrument commonly used for evaluation different aspects of the mental development of a child, or to know if there could be any evidence of brain damage, I had used this test in the past when I had practices in an institution by the name of "Techo Comunitario", and in some classes that had psychometry.
For most people this test might just look like a bunch of silly drawings, but it can be pretty useful if reviewed correctly, not only can it show signs of the level of mental development of a child, it can too show some emotional signs. The application if this test can be quick (7 to 10 minutes approx), and the review of it too, it can be done quickly.
As I said, this might not look like much, but it is the complete opposite.

Presentation...
Since we are almost done with our first project at Hitosoft and we have some personal projects that we have to do too, today, we presented 2 new projects, one is the, almost, complete overhaul of our website, and the other one is the website for the "colegio", we are doing this for free as a form of social project.
I had to give a little presentation of what we wanted, I prepared something and presented it, it went better than I thought :P, and next week we will distribute and start to work with it.

Sore throat...
...I hate it, today Sergio, me and other 2 friends went to play pool, and we did some other things, while we were there I was singing the whole time, obviously not the music they had there but the one I had in my cellphone, that, and because of a debate we had in our friends house, it was pretty awesome, even though neither part changed their point of view, still I haven't had a discussion this interesting in a long time. Unfortunately I really am aching my throat, hopefully tomorrow (in a few hours when I wake up :P) it will feel better.

MMPI
I know I have been writing only about work lately, but this is the only thing I have been doing, in my other job at CAPSIC I have been attending 3 new adolescents, since they were sent from a school (not from the same) I have to evaluate them first, to do this I have to interview them and apply a series of test to either confirm what I obtain from the interviews and/or get more information that I might have skipped in the interview.
One of the test that I will be applying is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, one of my favorites for the wide range of information it can give, the only thing I hate about it is that it is way too long to apply in one sit (it consists of around 500 questions of true or false), but it is worth it, I haven't worked with this test since I was in school, but I remember pretty well how to use it, one of my patients (one that wasn't sent from school) is already answering it, but I don't think he might finish it the next session, as soon as I have it finished I want to work with it and see what it might show, but obviously I can't follow it blindly, it is only to compare with what I already know.
I know I shouldn't feel so happy for a test, but I love this part of the process, to obtain information, analyze it, integrate it and diagnose, of course I like to work with them too, but I really enjoy this.

Firefox...
So, for the last 2 weeks I have been using Firefox since Chrome has been failing (it won't load anything unless I clean the cache), I like firefox but not as much as I like Chrome, even though I use both, for programming I like Firefox better, I don't know if the firebug in firefox is better, but I like it much more, but for everything else I like much more Chrome, I like the ability to search in a website from the address bar with just a tab. I love the auto-complete feature too, the way it handles chrome extensions, gmail notifications, as well as the facebook app. This and many other things are the reason I prefer to use Chrome over Firefox, at least in simple things, for programming I do prefer Firefox, even if I use both.
These two weeks have helped me appreciate Chrome better :P

Change...
Today I had to modify a document that I made back when I started working with this project in HitoSoft, it was working fine, but it had some limitations that I had to take care of, first of all, it was almost only php, it had some javascript, and it didn't have any jQuery, so after each post it had to reload everything again. After some minutes I decided to re-write everything again, it only took me this afternoon to finish it, something that took me like a week some time ago, and it is working much better now, quicker and smoother, and it looks prettier too.

The March of the Penguins...
Today I just noted that something was missing in my trip to my work, since I started going to CAPSIC I have to walk a considerable amount of time to take the bus, every morning I went there I always saw this guys that sell a frozen treat by the name of "Bon Ice", it is very popular here. Sometimes I just saw like 3 or 4, some times 6, but they always go one after the other, some go in pairs, but it looks kinda weird.
Since last week I haven't seen any, I don't know if it is because they changed their schedule or something else, but it feels weird not seeing these guys now... and now I want one, dammit.

Long working shifts...
Today was one of those days, I went to CAPSIC in the morning, got to my house in the afternoon, ate there, and the went to work with my friends at HitoSoft (we went to the "office", not online :P), and got back home past 10. I feel tired, but it was a productive day, tomorrow will be the same or even worse since I will not have the chance to go to my house and eat, I will have to do it outside. I have to go to the Uni in the morning, patients in the afternoon, then to eat and meeting, I will try to take advantage of the free time I have between each thing.

Better...
A few hours ago I had to write a little code for the software we are making in HitoSoft, it was easy, but a few weeks ago it would have taken me 2 or 3 times more than what it took me, and probably I would have used a different method than the one I used today, I can say that I am really getting the hang of this, and I am getting better each day :P, and I am freaking loving it.

Humble Bundle
As I wrote yesterday, I went to the bank, the reason was to open a savings account to start saving money, that and to be able to buy some things online, at least games from steam or donate to the Humble Bundle. Today in the morning, before I went out to work I tried to register my debit card to Google checkout, I tried yesterday, but the card wasn't working, not the case this morning, I proceeded to donate at the Humble Bundle and I didn't have any problem, it went smooth.
At least I no longer have to depend of Sergio or my brother with this, and it will be easier to save money if I don't have it all the time. On the other hand I will have to be careful with steam, that thing is from the devil and if a good offer appears I will have to think twice before wanting to buying a game :P

Late...
I woke up a little late today, I had to get to the bank before going to work and I got there a little late too, went to CAPSIC and I was later than usual (just like 5 minutes, but I usually get there before everyone else), got out of there later than usual too, I had to finish some work, got home and went with my mom to buy some things to prepare food, we ate very late too (like 7 pm), I was supposed to write this like 2 or 3 hours ago, but I fell sleep, then woke up, then I was all zombie, I don't want to get up and turn off the lights, I was staring at the monitor not knowing what to write about and was falling again. I feel tired after this long long day, productive, but freaking long, so now I am going to sleep late and tomorrow I have to go and repair a computer in the morning, I just hope I don't get there late :P

Procrastination strikes again…
So, I have
been neglecting this Project because it wasn’t a priority and someone else had
the same Project, it wasn’t hard, actually it is pretty easy, but I had to get
some information from other persons since there isn’t a
public document where I can get it, only my boss has the documents, like the mission, vision and objectives of CAPSIC,
what has been done, some administrative data that I need, but tomorrow I have to
present some advances.
I made what
I was able to with what I had and I think it is fine, but far from finished, I
need to ask a lot of things that I can’t just invent myself, but neither my
boss nor I have had the time to sit and do this, I am always with other things
as well as her, we’ll see tomorrow how it goes.

Best song ever...
This is something I wanted to write from some time ago, a few weeks ago Sergio and I were outside my house just listening to music and "singing", Dream Theater to be specific, we know that there isn't such a thing as a best song, at least for us, and I doubt that any one can consider any song the best for ever.
While we were there we tried to list our favorite songs, I don't remember why, but we decided to rank the calm songs first, we both accorded that the best calm song from Dream Theater was Disappear from Six Degrees, we like other calms songs as much as this one, but at the moment this one was the one that we thought was the best.
Every album has freaking good songs, it is impossible to say which of them is the best, I have always said that every song has its moment to shine, for example Learning to Live is my favorite song right know, but a few months ago it was Octavarium, and before that it A Change Of Seasons, Never Enough was from some time too (one of the first songs that I fell in love when I started to listen to Dream Theater), and I know that in some time I will say that my favorite song is other one, which one? Who knows :P
It isn't easy to say which one is my favorite, not even from each album because most songs have something to offer either in the music or the lyrics or both, I feel the same with Opeth, Porcupine Three, Redemption, Pain of Salvation, and most bands that I listen right now. All of them are great bands and have amazing songs, and the thing I love about them is that I can listen to the same album time and time and never get bored, and notice things that I didn't noticed before, like with Redemption, I didn't like at first "What will you say" but now I love it, the same with Dream Theater, it took me more than a year when I started to listen to them to sincerely say that I love each album and song from them.
I love music!!!!!!!!
But I must admit that the best song to me right now is this one, so good it will melt your brain with its awesomeness :P

Saved...
Yesterday was my "assistant's" birthday, I told her that I was going to make her a cake, but since we weren't going to be in CAPSIC that day it would have to wait, tomorrow we need to go to make some reports and stuff, but it won't take us that much time, but I can't make it in the morning, it would take me more time that I have. That's why I made today.
The cake is a cherry cake, first time doing it, and I didn't prepare things before, I didn't have time to do it, fortunately I had the right ingredients to do it, and actually some things were just enough for it. I don't know what I did wrong but it was right before adding one of the ingredients (milk), I almost put in in the oven before realizing that I had forgotten that. The weird part was that it was ok without it, at leas the consistency.
I added the milk and it looked like it was pancakes mixture, I almost ruined it, the thought of starting it all over passed through my mind, but it was late already and I was tired as to go to the store, so I decided to try and save it adding more of everything, but I didn't have more butter, so I substituted it with some canola oil, there was no sugar either so I used some of the syrup of the cherries I used in the cake, I added more of the other ingredients with what I thought was the right proportion, before taking it to the oven I had to try it a little to see if the flavor was right, and it was.
Now I just had to wait till it was cooked. After some minutes in the oven it was ready, I made 1 big and 1 small cake, I cut a part from the small one since this one was for my family and it tasted great, it wasn't too sweet, but it tasted like cherries, it was moist and delicious (I thought it would dry since I left them the same amount of time), I was lucky I didn't ruined this, now lets see how they like it tomorrow.

Adventurous?
I don't know if I can call myself that way, but one thing about me is that when I have the chance to try something different or new most of the times I'll do it. Today I went downtown again, I had to go near an smart in "la chaveña" since it was the best place to wait for some one (this some one being my assistant) near where we were going.
I didn't know exactly how to get there since I had just been once and I walked there. I knew in what direction it was and that it was near the railroad tracks, when I got downtown the bus stopped far away from where I was supposed to go, but I decided to just walk till I got there, I don't really know where I was, but I walked as if I knew,I went through some flea market that I didn't know.
After some minutes of walking I got near the place, or at least that's what I thought. There were some people around so I asked them how to get there and it turn out that I was just 2 blocks away from my destination. I got there in time and went to do what I had to do.

Technology illiterates...
So, as I wrote some time ago the "Colegio de Psicólogos" is going to screen a movie and make an analysis of the movie by two psychologists, the movie that we choose was Lolita from Stanley Kubrick, the point here is that the manager of the theater said that the movie had to be in Blu Ray, but who knows is a blu ray? Well, you might say that most people, but here it is different.
I had to try at least in three or four different occasions to explain what it was before giving up, I made analogies like x = y like w = z, but it was too much for some to understand it, I tried just saying that it was like a dvd but newer, I tried with other forms but it seemed like talking with a kid, they just didn't understand.
I don't know if this had anything to do with something that happened today, but I wouldn't discard it. Sergio and I went to Las Misiones to hang out and we got to Sanborns, some weeks ago we saw a collection of Stanley Kubrick movies and some of the movies could be used at the "Colegio" for future events or other things, well, the problem was that when my boss went to buy it it was already sold out.
When Sergio and I went there we asked if they had it again, but they didn't, I asked if they had Lolita in Blu Ray and it was there, but before buying it I called my boss to ask her if anyone hadn't already bought it, unfortunately she told me that they decided to get it on DVD and they didn't had it in that format because it was easier to watch or something like that, I don't remember the exact words, but going from a blu ray to dvd just because you don't understand what it is is silly... or dumb, I don't know, it was ridiculous, but whatever it is their decision.
P.S.
If you guys can and want to see it, it will be screened this october 15 in Las Misiones at 9:00 a.m. (I know it is way to early, but there was no other option) and the tickets will be 50 pesos per ticket.

Prepared...
So, today I wanted to finish some work and to avoid going to my parents house (for food or water, not to avoid them :P) I prepared some things, after breakfast I cut a big slice of watermelon, a few oranges and an apple... it didn't survive though, I ate it before going out, I also brought a jar with water.
I went to my room and worked for a few hours, watched some Criminal Minds, and worked with other things. All in all, it was a productive day, though, I feel like a shut in sometimes, even if this past week I was out almost all day at least three days :P, well, at least this project is almost finished.

Coffee...
Sometimes not even coffee is enough to wake you up.
Today as always I woke up early, and since I was unable to sleep again and had some work to do I started to work, I finished what I was doing before breakfast, after eating breakfast I started to feel sleepy, I decided to prepare me a coffee, and it was pretty strong actually, even though, I was still very sleepy after the coffee, so I decided to rest a little. Unfortunately when I was almost falling sleep I got a call...
Well, I can't complain, it was from CAPSIC, I am going to have two new patients starting this Monday, with this it will be four and one still on hold. After that I worked a little more on other things and played some Batman Arkham Asylum, I beat the game today, I didn't know I was almost at the end of it, it was worth it. Now I am ready for Amnesia The Dark Descent...
