Okay, so I’ve thought a lot about this. I’m doing a career research summary of all the medical careers I want. So, I’m focusing on taking English 1A this fall at San Francisco City College because since talking with my counselor, I have been told this is what I need to do having passed my English classes at Foothill with a C thanks to no plus minus grading that we student government types passed back in the day, thus making things easier on ourselves. I also learned that Foothill-DeAnza is on quarters while every other school in the Bay Area is semester oriented. Isn’t that just fascinating and frustrating at the same time. Fall Semester is longer at other schools.
For me it is one class at a time, one day at a time. I cannot go back to school to have my life fall apart on me because of my ridiculous tendencies to procrastinate too much. I tried looking at Second Draft and saw that editing Opening New Dimensions professionally will take time. I will have to use Fiverr or something. But anyway, going back to school is necessary to refresh my English degree knowledge. English 1A will help my writing all across the board.
But anyway I’m just analyzing my options, seeing as I filed my major at Foothill College to be AA in psychology, so I can have a good background as a life coach. I have an Udemy account so I can take a life coach class. Udemy often has many sales on holidays. They offer accredited means of getting certifications. The classes are done on video. Now that school is all online with talk of reopening classes in the classroom by fall semester, we online students have the advantage. I want a
Yes, so I will start with an online psychology degree, finishing a lot of my general ed along the way. I’ve added De Anza to my FAFSA list of schools I want to apply to. I want to get a lot of my Premed stuff done in the next ten years, depending on whether or not I successfully publish my books. I will go from an AA in psychology to an AA in film and television, taking my screenwriting and film classes online and in the classroom since they will have hybrid options. I want a B.S. in forensic psychology, which I can take from Arizona State University online.
Then while I’m getting that, I will also take classes at De Anza for my film and television AA that I want to transfer to UCLA to get a Masters in Fine Arts in creative writing, with some film classes, and screenwriting/scriptwriting. I’m also eager to take playwriting. When I’m done with my MFA, that’s when I get my law degree. It’s been five years since my parents decided to retire in Spain. They are well lout of my hair now. At De Anza this Winter quarter I want to take the following courses first –
| LIB 1 LIBRARY RESEARCH SKILLS |
| LIB 51 BUSINESS RESOURCES ON THE INTERNET |
| LIB 53 ADVANCED INTERNET SEARCH |
Yes, these classes will help me as an internet researcher. I have to wonder if you have to take them in order. Back when I was in my twenties and at Foothill I was taking a library science class until the instructor pointed out that I’m a writer, I got a C in library science 1 and I’d be bored. So off I went to the writing department to change my major.
As far as my writing goes, I plan on submitting my science fiction book to a literary agent, not ones I’ve submitted to before, but I have to submit to at least 5. I’m also looking for a part-time job using Upwork, and Indeed. I need to set up my Guru.com and I have Freelance.com too I think. I’d have to double-check this. Anyway, yes, these are my plans after talking to my former college counselor. It was nice talking to her again and I have some idea of what direction I want to head in now.
So I spoke with my former counselor at Foothill College, and she told me about how I had passed English 1A/1B making my general ed good at that school. I remembered that I had taken English 1A one summer in San Francisco at City College when I decided to stay up in the city for that summer. Yes, so now that there is an online option with only talk of schools reopening in the fall when the pandemic manages to end, I’m just going to say that I’m needing to take English 1A for work. I need to take a bunch of journalism classes too but we shall see.
I wann a scholarship as it applies to Ciy College, which I want to take Fall 2021. This summer will be spent finishing Udemy classes though. I added schools and resubmitted my FAFSA form. I added Mission College and San Francisco City College. She also said to consider West Valley. In California, you can make a career out of earning junior college certficiates, and associates. But then again I want to freelance. A friend of mine is trying to do exactly that given we both kick each other into doing this to see if we can do well as freelancers. It is his plan to get through school.
I realize that’s a great plan I should have too. Wow, way to set the bar real high and this kid is a Facebook friend/my student. He wanted me to teach him psychic stuff so I said sure, I’m only forty with limited teaching experince. The experience involves teaching my latent friends how to manage their stuff. They don’t make reading a habit though. But anyway, I’m a book nerd, a school nerd, someone who enjoys learning.
I’m eventually going to wind up a college professor with more than one Associates, Bachelor’s, etc. I want to get my MFA in creative writing/screenwriting and study a bit of film and television. I want to write for Star Trek, since ample opportunities exist in the present for that. I’m working on writing two books at once here though, which is a bit exhausting given it is spring time. I’m dealing with spring time feelings of stress. Sunlight stress for lack of a better term. I’m trying to go to bed when it gets dark.
Anyway, the thought of enrolling in one English class on a grant is exciting. So exciting that I may be losing sleep over it. It is an online class, which means I don’t have to compete seeing people’s faces. I can hide out. My young-looking skin is not a target of having to be eye candy for boys and men. If fall classes return, I want to actually take a chance getting myself into the De Anza library research certificate track but I cannot overload myself. For all intents and purposes, I have to know what is too much for me to handle. I do not need to impress people with how many classes I take and I don’t need to admire them either if other people take excess units just to finish faster. There was a reason I was an addict all through school. Some people can’t handle that one can they? I quit. I was an addict and I quit. There you happy now? I am a school addict though and I quit that so I have to be careful with how many units I wind up taking every quarter or semester, since Foothlill-Deanza use Quarters while everybody else in California uses semesters. New information I just found out abd didn’t know while I was in the thick of it. Psychology is easy to take at Foothill, because I know exactly what to take and Psych 1 is done.
The next step for my business, the Shadow Network, is to file for incorporation. Yes, an expensive proposition so I can ask for a fee waiver. The legal advice clinic felt I could qualify for one since I’m low-income. Now, what scares me about having more money lately is manic spending habits where I just spend money on whims. It is a feature of mania in Bipolar 1 disorder that people want to spend money just for the sake of spending money. A thing brings bipolars great torture and pain because we have no control over our desire to spend money unless we seriously rein it in. It is why I stay low income, out of fear for my spending habits and myself.
Now the best way to save money is to not spend it. I need to become more financially literate here because my ignorance is a huge gap preventing me from making more money. Ignorance is no excuse as someone who already has more than one college degree, like my Bachelor’s in creative writing, my AA in such, and my AA in anthropology. I spent money on a “new” used computer but something happened. I messed it up in my carelessness. There is psychic stuff going on there I don’t want to get into because it scares even me but the antidote to fear is courage and telling my mother I’m not putting up with her messing with me.
But anyway, I have procrastination problems. It is why I plan on taking one class at a time. I’m supposed to take English 1A at San Francisco City College now that my writing is better. Funny all the junior colleges in California do Semesters while Foothill-De Anza doesn’t. I want to take an art class, and a library research class that is good for Internet research jobs. What petrifies me about real school is my increasing problems with my hernia, and how many supplements I have to take. I need more medication minder pillboxes here but the good news is that I’m keeping my manic/online spending habits contained.
Procrastination is simply a way of saying; I don’t feel I have the self-worth to get stuff started ahead of time. But if you have half-a brain you know to get started on a project early. As in, to Upwork clients I want to drop my own projects like a hot potato and work on your stuff first. But I can’t stand working for someone at times although I want to get myself good and used to it. Self-employment is in my nature.
I’m navigating constant stomachaches although my blood sugars are stable. I’m busting my butt to get myself functional and I am functional. I work hard. Too hard. I’m scared to death of filing for incorporation but sooner or later I have to quit being chicken. The step after that is to do a presentation for existing companies to see if it is a business proposition they value, that has value to them, and if they’d be willing to partner with me. I’m trying to keep up with my life.
I have moments when I crawl back onto the couch. The San Jose VTA has shut down the light rail stations in light of the current shooting, who knows for how long? Not that I want to go anywhere although I feel safest on the bus. Yes, I have a lot to do at home.
I have recently discovered I have a binge eating disorder. It gets triggered by the darndest things. The good news is that my low blood platelets are under control with prescription iron. This tablet is a strong chemical, which helps everything get stable. I’m not eating much meat right now anyway. I’m trying to avoid sugar anything although the apple pie cravings are intensive. I like making my own food sometimes because it means I don’t eat out of a box. I follow the pure foods with limited preservatives diet. And anyway, I got my COVID vaccine last week Thursday. For some reason on Thursday I was seized by a desire to trim the rose bush. Maybe that was my mother? I did trim that rose bush. It is now not scraping on the glass. I had a fever of 102 on Friday, and the crud vanished by Sunday. Staying home and being paranoid is something I know about. I’m glad I didn’t get the virus, only because it sounds nasty. Others in my family have had it but I haven’t, thanks luck.
This whole week and the first week of June is my 30-year type 1 diabetes anniversary week. I use a continuous glucose monitor these days to my advantage and have learned a lot about my blood sugar patterns. It is interesting to keep track of real time data from the CGM. I was walking around with diabetes symptoms after my cleft palate surgery in 1989 for my 22q. I wasn’t sure how long I was pre-diabetic but one symptom is peeing a lot. If you are reading this and have that symptom, get a glucose tolerance test. I like having the numbers at my finger tips instead of having to draw blood. My iPhone makes it really discreet. People have the ew gross look on their face when I check my blood sugar in public. Sometimes I find that jealousy follows me because I look years younger than my actual age. I’m 40 but look 20. My linked in profile has a picture of me. But anyway, this week is my 30-year anniversary. I’m spending it working, I made myself a green bean casserole, and I’m trying to eat healthy without binging.

I know how to write business plans in my sleep by now. I copied this off of a file I have filed under 2020 that I worked on while in quarantine. This is a list of stuff, it will take me at least a year doing two classes a quarter. I mean one class is the ideal limit but two is necessary. I have three classes on my Greyschool account I’m procrastinating immensely on. This is why I say for real school, it will take one class a quarter. If I pay for school myself, my big question is – will I do well? I’m wondering about that. I just don’t want to have to take accounting at the UC level. Business law is good for the paralegal course load. My occupational therapy class met in person, finally this May.
It was awkward and I felt like people seemed shell-shocked from being in quarantine for so long. I mean the pandemic has tried everybody’s patience. Staying home a lot with nothing to do did suck to an extent. It rattled everybody. Classes will eventually be able to meet in person. I wonder how unnecessarily paranoid I will get when I walk into a real-world classroom for the first time in years.
Starting a copywriting business is something I have to pay the business tax on in San Jose, CA, which is $207. My copywriting business is contingent on me having stamina to write daily. I’m using content mills I want to become a member of but I somehow self-sabotage with the entrance test to Steady Content.com. I feel like despite the positive message I got on my Linkedin, somehow I sabotage myself by getting anxious and not doing well. I have work-related trauma since I’ve had to deal with an abusive workplace. I’m busy trying to learn to maintain my desire to work part-time with Textbroker.com.
Yeah some of this stuff is just more reasons to see a therapist since I already have one with 7cups. I’m trying my darndest here to make real money on Textbroker, wondering if I’m ready to break away from the degree mills. I make money in the $100 bracket…my tax refund is coming eventually. I’m looking into copywriting as a general career choice and AWAI or “American Writer’s and Artists Institute. ” AWAI has a lot of self-guided programs, and you can learn their method to become a skilled copywriter. I take advantage of all freebies and whatnot.
Anyway, the thing is that I’m eventually going to make real money, and fix a computer I messed up with some darker underlying reasons I can’t talk about in public as to why that happened. But anyway, I’m just an innocent person trying to make real money. AWAI has access to how-to webinars. I’m trying to shove my brain full of information right now. I need to do this in order to figure out what to do next, like paying San Jose city taxes for businesses so I can legally start a business.
I want to write copy for local businesses, and see if that gets me noticed. I want to write for any business I find who wants copy. It could be restaurants, it could be doctors in private practice and legal copywriting. I want this. I want it bad, because I like working and setting my own hours as opposed to being a slave to someone else’s perspective on time. I’m looking to work with people who respect my time, and skills, two of my valuable resources that I do not have to just give away to anybody without that being valued.
I have time and again, dealt with toxic work place scenarios where my time is disrespected. On Upwork, I simply withdraw my application. I do not want to be kicked around because I have free time on my hands. Those doctors that disrespect my time get me calling in and rearranging appointments because I will not tolerate my resources being disrupted in any way. Just because I have free medical care does not mean my time is something other people can waste. I’m a busy person, and I do not need people disrespecting my time like it is something they can just knock because I have a disability or more than one.
Certificates I Want: Alternative Medicine Research Project
Greyschool – Psychic Arts and Healing double major:
I’m earning a Greyschool degree in Psychic arts, and healing. I have decided to step up and try to finish it this next year, which means doing consistent work, submitting one paper weekly. Yes, I can do this even while taking one class of regular school a quarter, using the Foothill College online program. I’m determined to finish Greyschool even as I’m taking my merry time with it. Psychic arts is necessary to become a trained psychic even if I use a web page to get business. Healing is necessary to work at Our Sacred Space, without losing it from other people’s energy stuck in my body.
Reiki: I have a level 1 under Jessica Miller, and Pantheacon’s Reiki attunement event way back in like 2013. Jessica noted I’m a level 1 while whipping up a certification. I used this as a credit for Greyschool. https://www.reiki.org/faqs/what-reiki. Usi Reiki comes from Mikao Usui, who channeled this modality on top of a mountain.
Reiki II: Udemy has an abundance of Reiki classes that I want to take. They certainly seem to have many courses I need to get under my belt so I can put that on my resume. https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?src=ukw&q=Reiki+II+
These classes are in an affordable price range, and just like Greyschool, a great option. Greyschool has taught me incredible things. They offer a Reiki certification prior credit. As is my reputation in these parts, I should not enroll at an in person Reiki course due to my mental illness. Reiki can heal Mr. hernia symptoms if I see a practitioner, in private practice. I might even be able to take Reiki II with Jessica Miller: Now that is one way to earn a certificate as I know a teacher who can teach me everything she knows.
Reiki Master: Many options to take this class exist online. Udemy has some great classes that make sense. I feel safer taking it online than taking an in-person class. I’m far too paranoid about how people will treat me if they stigmatize me for taking medication. This class can be taken with Jessica Miller.
Theta Healing: Taken with Melissa Lee, her sessions are $75 a session. If I have that kind of money, I will use it. I’m really not feeling well today. http://www.melissaleehealing.com/. I have a lot of trauma I need to process. I want to take lessons from her, but I also need to be healed by her. https://www.thetahealing.com/index.htm– a website to find theta healers and information on the subject. The pineal gland is the master gland that controls your body, apparently. Theta healing is a brand of instantaneous healing. I want to become a theta healing practitioner at least. But why? Why am I so interested in such unscientific things that could be utter bullshit?
Karuna Reiki: A modality of Reiki I’m interested in studying, karuna means that a person takes any action to reduce the suffering of others. Here is Reiki.org and the list of Reiki classes offered. People take this energy healing hokey old-time religion stuff very seriously. Reiki comes in many different forms but it all came from Mr. Usui who taught it after learning it on top of a mountain in Japan.
acupuncture schools: I need to find two acupuncture schools, one in San Jose, one in Los Angeles. I may wind up having to divide my time so I keep the condo in the family where it belongs as I need a place to live in the Bay Area.
1 In San Jose
Five Branches University Graduate School of Traditional Chinese Medicine
I want a Doctor and Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine to go with my Ph.D. in psychology. I’m almost forty, I need real income, I’m not getting any younger here.
This university is at 1885 Lundy Avenue in San Jose, CA. So therefore, close to home if I had a car or could take the bus.
1 In Los Angeles
Acupuncture
4 year acupuncutre training class, preparation for the California Acupuncture Licensing Exam (CALE), required if you practice in the state of California. Both schools are great offerings. But I want to move to Los Angeles, remember?
The Los Angeles School has an herbal medicine department, from the Chinese medicine perspective.

The cost for filing the Shadow Network LLC is $800 annual tax according to https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/business/types/limited-liability-company/index.html. The cost for filing a city business tax is $207.85 for a business of 1-2 employees. I want to file with San Jose only because I feel that I should start La Conquistadora sooner rather than later. I’m 40, it is time to succeed. I’m afraid, I’m terrified, but I need to make real money here to afford a bunch of alternative medicine and stress management modalities such as massage. See, before the pandemic I had my anxiety under control because I was leaving the house to go to therapy every Tuesday and Thursday from 2018 on.
Said mental health therapy was actually helping my tormented left knee to bend. Yes, I really need more Upwork experience to pay up the tax situation for either business idea. My computing situation is also causing me stress and aggravation but the stimulus check and my regular amount is keeping me afloat financially. My tax refund will go to pay a new computer. It is time to get off the pot with that one because I’ve been putting it off way too long. I’ve decided I’m going to try to apply for the Shadow Network LLC fee waiver. I’m really going to do this incorporation stuff.
I need to get these businesses off the ground. My copywriting business needs a business plan. I have a half-cocked plan to offer copywriting in Spanish also, hence the Spanish laced name but it really is meant to be funny as in, I’m going to succeed. This is the meaning behind the name. I’m just an innocent person who wants to make significant income so as to not be dependent on my parent’s income. Yes this would change the balance of power drastically but it needs to be done. I also need to move to Los Angeles or figure out a way to divide my time with a roommate living here so as to displace my parents should they try to come back.
I really need to put myself into mental health rehab. I’m dealing with a lot of mental health stress. I have to keep myself on an even keel though and it would certainly help if I had a business partner I can trust. I have major trust issues with most people. I’m trying to work on it but I can only do so much therapy. This is why I need to start my business. The expression “get off the pot” comes from the use of chamber pots way back instead of toilets. I’m trying to deal with my procrastination issues by facing the stress head on.
This computer is losing function. My word count doesn’t work right now. It is glitchy, massively glitchy. It is why any operating system above 10.9 is an improvement. Office files won’t open or open very slowly. I’m getting scared here but my tax refund is waiting. I’m trying not to let that make me anxious. I need to file my tax refund. I’m doing that tomorrow when my 7cups online therapy payment clears. This computer is going the route of very slow. It is why I need to buy a new one that I can watch my TV on since the Widevine media player got taken out. Avast is the antivirus scanner, and I have learned Macs for the better part of 5 years now to the point where I’m confident I can set up a new, refurbished desktop myself. Yes, I’m stessed but at least I have my own money I’m using for this new computer not belonging to someone else.
