Random Musings

• Beyond the typical Juans, Marías, and Alejandros, there are a lot of odd (to me anyway) names here. For example I just had an Oreibys and a Surdilenia in my computer class. Then they can really throw you a curveball and spell there names in atypical ways, like Deivid. I just don´t know if that is in fact his name, or if he´s just spelling David incorrectly. I´ve come across countless examples of that over the last three months.
• Speaking of curveballs, the baseball playoffs began yesterday and I´m interested to see how that goes here. I´ve heard the people here get really into it, especially if there are teams involved with popular Dominican players. I plan on watching some of the Mets/Dodgers game later with my friend Anthony (a Met´s fan) and some Dominicans.
• Last Saturday, as I was all pumped up to watch the ND game, the NBC feed went out at José O´Shays. I kept waiting for it to come back, but it never did. I had every game in the country, including Idaho/Utah St. at my disposal, but couldn´t see the one game I wanted. I just hope it´s fixed sometime by this Saturday.
• What does it say about a school when I want to use a computer for another student in my computer class, and the assistant principal won´t get off of it? It´s been stated very clearly that these computers are for student use between the hours of 12-2, but I guess the students just aren´t that important. Sometimes this place can be quite frustrating. And by sometimes, I mean almost always.
