By: Gabriela Yareliz I have been called in to work today. It turns out there will be a Spanish speaking group there… ahh the benefits of being a polyglot. I encourage anyone who has any slight interest in any culture or language to go for it. It will always pay off. It adds something toContinue reading “Before I run off”

Americaaaaa
By: Gabriela Yareliz The Fourth of July, a day when I think about the inscription on the statue of liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”Continue reading “Americaaaaa”
Today’s Top Picks: Peace, Clarins and Futbol
By: Gabriela Yareliz 1] Thomas Merton said something along these lines: We cannot have peace with one another because we are not at peace with ourselves. We cannot have peace with ourselves because we are not at peace with God. 2] Clarins App en francais On a Shallow Note If you thought I was shallowContinue reading “Today’s Top Picks: Peace, Clarins and Futbol”
Bellucci; lipstick; Syria; among other things…
By: Gabriela Yareliz She is back– and with her own line of lipstick. Monica Bellucci, out of hiding and back. I felt like I hadn’t seen her forever until I opened this month’s Vogue. Fantastic! It is terribly shallow but there is something awesome about red lipstick and curling your hair… The New Yoker hadContinue reading “Bellucci; lipstick; Syria; among other things…”
Unknown
By: Gabriela Yareliz We meet again… it is hot outside. Let me rephrase: HOT. The best thing about a car with no AC is the fact that the open window suffices to blow you away. I look like some random gypsy today with a scarf around my head–I think I scared the Subway guy. Poor fellow.Continue reading “Unknown”

Pool & Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
By: Gabriela Yareliz “I feel socially pressured to know about pool.” -Priscilla to me as we sat after getting our cap and gowns in the game room; as we watched Changmin duke it out with the nice guy with brown hair. She read my mind exactly. After this social pressure, Bhargava was gracious enough to enlightenContinue reading “Pool & Mere Brother Ki Dulhan”
My failed interviews
By: Gabriela Yareliz Last day of class folks. Yup. People are marching into the 24-hour libraries with pillows under their arms. I am not kidding. I thought I would take a moment today, it being the last day of class and everything, to explain my plight as a journalist these past three years interviewing peopleContinue reading “My failed interviews”
An Answer
By: Gabriela Yareliz Melanie and I almost has a heart attack today in French phonetics lab. After 5 to 6 months of waiting for an answer, an answer has been issued. Whether it is good or bad, who knows. We’ll find out. Our prof officially believes we are insane, and today was the last class–whatContinue reading “An Answer”
Final Days
By: Gabriela Yareliz No time to sleep. No time to brush your hair. No time to do laundry. No time. It is that time; end of the semester. Teachers’ demands reach their highest level of impossibility (wink) and they ask for what seems impossible, and we, the students, look sleep deprived and zombie-esque. Sad story.
