7 days of class left. Very ready to go home, yet very NOT READY to leave. What an internal conflict we have here. Realizing I've been thinking in terms of countdowns lately, which builds exciting anticipation but also fosters negative anticipation. So I hope I'm done with that nonsense for a while.
Our final project for my Dominican-Haitian Relations class has essentially no stipulations. It can be a sculpture, a powerpoint, a collage, 1 page paper, 5 page paper, whatever we want as long as it relates to the class. I'm thinking something that includes interviews from a dominican, haitian, and american... One of our possible test questions is to interview a dominican and/or haitian about their perception of future dominican-haitian relations and tell Professor Santos about it... so I figured why not do my whole final project on the subject? I'm excited. This is going to be lots more fun than practicing chemical mechanisms before finals week.
Our last excursion to Samana (this past weekend) was gorgeous and absolutely boomb sauce. We visited Los Haitises which are a bunch of mini islands near the northern peninsula of the DR and ate some Johnny Cake and Ginger Beer made by an old Cocolo descendent woman (US freed slaves that set up the colony of Samana in the 1800s).
