The marathon continues, but I can almost see the finish line. Block exams come up in a week and half. Finals are a week after that. I'll be hopping onto an American Airlines flight to Miami and then San Francisco. I wonder what it's like to be in cold weather. I recall vaguely from DC, but it's not winter without a little cold. I think it might be getting hotter here and we're not even south of the equator.
Listening to the Sharks game, since video streams a little too bandwidth heavy for the connection here. I miss fast internet; although my connection at home wasn't exactly a scorcher, at least it was more reliable and quicker, for about half the cost of internet here. I guess that's what happens when a local ISP has a monopoly.
On a side note, AUC is now enforcing a new rule in which students will need to buy insurance from the school. Unfortunately, that is not the worst part. The insurer is Nagico, which is the main insurer on the island. From the nightmares I've heard about people dealing with their car insurance division, I'm scared to see what their health insurance is like. For instance, car insurance is mandatory on the island, but does not cover theft, which is a common occurrence here. If they won't cover a major component of car insurance, I fail to see how they'll protect your health. The only advantage I could see is that the school would be more responsible to help cover claims.
Either way, there has been an uproar on VMD and people were planning on speaking up at the SGA meeting this evening. I was planning on going, but I ended up taking a nap. I'll have to check in to see how things turned out.
