Getting started i want to say that my blog may go between spanish and english... I apologize for those of you who only speak on of the two but as a native English speaker with an ambition to do my PhD in a Spanish University I try to speak as much Spanish as possible but today will be an English day.
It is my hope that this blog will share the challenges and struggles, the good and the bad of an “Ambitious” or maybe too ambitious person working her way through life. I choose the word ambitious based on a conversation I had today with a former student. The use of the word ambitious for me was not at all a bad thing, although it was intended as a joke... it made it clear that sometimes when you have a vision not everyone can see it - and thats okay. Also as we work towards our vision sometimes we fall down.... I have taken many trips, tumbles and down right screaming my head off because I’m on a roller coaster and can’t get off ( if you know me you know I don’t do roller coasters). It is those of us crazy people who are missing a few screws that get up and do it all over again after we cry ourselves to sleep the night before. I know that although the rest of the world may not be able to describe exactly what I do, or understand why it is that I do what I am trying to do..... change the world ( a more sutler version of pinky and the brains trying to take over the world ;-) )..... The cool thing is that I know where I am going and the pieces to this ambitious girls puzzle makes sense in my brain, although I am still trying to translate it to the real world. So with that said I want to make a toast one of my favorite quotations... “Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them. disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world - are the ones who do!” ~ Apple

I just want to highlight how wonderful your web page layout is. I really enjoy it. It is incredibly good for the eyes, very easy to read and it is incredibly great to just look at. The color combination of black and white is usually boring, but you made it really elegant. The font style of font size is just incredibly good. I believe that these things are essential for any website, you used everything the most appropriate way. I adore it.
