I don't know what's being celebrated, but one thing that I love about being here in Barcelona is that I often get to see fireworks. This one was a good 15-minute display...and study break. :)

I started this blog to document the actions I am taking in trying to become an astronaut. It's my ultimate goal, my dream. Every week or so I post a new update to recap the week or add interesting pictures. I hope you enjoy the site and remember to follow your dreams no matter what others may think of them.
About Damaris
- Damaris Sarria Toepel

- Welcome to my blog! I grew up in California and later attended Texas A&M University to earn a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering. I also hold a Master's degree in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I previously worked at Kennedy Space Center for Boeing on the Space Shuttle Orbiter's Thermal Protection System. I transitioned to an engineering position with the MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, MA. I applied for the 2009 astronaut candidate program, but unfortunately did not get a call back. I applied again in early 2011 so fingers crossed! I currently am working on continuing my advanced education, involvement with space advocacy, and continuing to do all that I love in life!

You were watching the celebrations of the feast day of Sant'Iago (St James) - the patron saint of Spain.
But we will not consider the air quality impacts of fireworks. A much better study diversion....

I wish you the very best of luck in you endeavour to become an astronaut. I too am an engineer (electrical) but consider myself to old to apply. I came upon your page in trying to fulfill my dream as an astronaut thru my kids, three boys. Nothing would make me happier than see one or all of them (why not?) in space. Best of luck again, I know you will make it!!!!!!
