Week 1

1. What is your first name only (NOT last name)
Orlando

2. Why are you taking this class and what do you hope to learn
At first, I was just hoping to get some General Ed out of the way but I read the class description and it sounded interesting. I want to learn all about the Caribbean's lifestyle. Religion, Films, etc.

3. How far do you live from SRJC main campus?
(For this I want you to go to google.com, then select maps to get the SPECIFIC answer; for this you type in your address and 1501 Mendocino Ave, Santa Rosa, CA to find the exact mileage. EXAMPLE: 2.6 miles from campus. The goal here is to use new tools available to us AND to know the distance your classmates are taking this class from. Every semester I have a few students out of state, out of country. You can always come back to edit this. To Edit in Blogger, click on COMPOSE, then you'll see the EDIT link)
I live 5.6 miles from the SRJC

4. Briefly, what do you think of when you think:


North America?
Music; Jazz, Big Band, etc.

Central America?
Drug Cartels, beaches

South America?
Jungle, guerilla wars

The Caribbean?

The World?
All the homeless people, kids with no parents

5. Have you created a blog or webpage in the past?
Yes. Just to write whatever is on my mind. Once for monetary purposes
