Duncan, my new dog

Well hello, I got a new dog. His name is Duncan. Actually, I adopted him from the local animal shelter. He is a cute beagle. Reminds me of a caring little grandfather guy. He snores and eats a lot. Those are his two main abilities. He is very cute!

At first, I was reluctant on adopting a dog. I have always felt that instead of buying a new dog, people should adopt one. First, it is a lot cheaper. Sencond and more importantly, we are providing a home and much needed affection to a little guy that deserves it. My dog is extremely affectionate. That is why I don't even want to think about how unhappy he must have been alone in the shelter. Surprisingly, there are a lot of volunteers who take good care of the animals there. But still, he likes to be beside me so much that I can't help but think how wonderful it would be if his pals at the shelter could get a home (and a family) too.

Hello dudes!

Ok. I am a student. I am taking classes and they started already. I am worried about the small number of Puerto Ricans that are in college. Let's not even talk about grad school, with all the opportunities for scholarships they possess for having their US citizenship, let's talk about bachelor's degree. In today's world, where we come from - we have so many opportunities. It is a shame to waste any. I only hope people decide to study and learn, not just because they want to obtain a career with a large salary, but because there exists an amout of knowledge as vast as the universe and to not explore it, not exploit it, not encompass into one's beign - it is more than a mistake, it should be a sin.
