Reflections Before Bedtime #29
By: Gabriela Yareliz Brain-dump edition (these are always random): 1) We will always need our moms. 2) It is amazing when someone who knows what he or she is talking about comes to your aid and defense.

Reflections Before Bedtime #28
By: Gabriela Yareliz Ever since exams and since one of my mentors passed away, I have been in the weirdest, frazzled little state of mind.
