week 1

1. What is your first name only (NOT last name)
Granville
2. Why are you taking this class and what do you hope to learn
I am taking this because the previous experience I had in a similarly formatted class was quite enjoyable and of course I need 3 more credits to graduate. I hope to learn more of Caribbean peoples. I have travelled to many Caribbean islands, well around 6 different islands. I made most of these trips in my youth and mostly with the Coast Guard, so I have always wished to learn more about the various peoples of the Caribbean on my own terms. Not by doing the bidding of Uncle Sam.
