Today was an extremely eventful day!
I continued to diagnose the internet at the school and see if it could be remedied. Right now, the internet is provided by a private individual, not a company, that restricts the access to the internet to only 5 computers. Therefore, I could not connect any of the laptops that I brought over to the internet. However, the principal and computer teachers of the school are currently looking into the situation to see if getting internet from a company(Nextel) is possible.
Trying to figure out everything about the school wi-fi. The password, bandwave, router, monthly cost and signal limitation...

With the help from Juan Carlos, I manage to log-in to the router.
Connect laptop to school wifi; no internet connection. Connect using ethernet cable; no connection. Why? Seems that the router is MAC address filter that only allowed 5 designated connections!
Showing the installed application to Julio with Pedro (man in black) as my translator. A real-life translator beats Google Translate.

I also configured many of the programs, such as Audacity and Skype, into Spanish, continuing the process that I started yesterday. However, since the computers do not have the Service Pack 1 update for Windows 7, which is a common problem yet to be remedied by Microsoft for many laptops, the operating system as well as programs such as Microsoft Word will have to remain in English.
Afterwards, I tried to set up linked gmail accounts for the teachers through Google apps for Education, but due to the cost and requirement of the apps, I was not able to set up gmail addresses for all of the teachers.
On the way back from the school, we had to rush two high school students from the school to the emergency room. They were having heart problems and trouble breathing. It was extremely scary at that time since I had no idea what was happening. We were just about to leave the school, and the student nurses from Marquette were there too. Through their expertise, we were able to rush these two students to the emergency room without any further incident.
