School: and we are back-

By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, School began with sweltering heat. Everyone’s hair was moist and stringy and we all stood in close proximity on the bus trapped in a mixture of everyone’s distress and frustration with the weather.

A Week of Dodging and Trying to Find People

By: Gabriela Yareliz Gonzalez     It’s been a week of trying to gain composure, learning to avoid people, staying awake to study for tests and walking up to people to interrogate them as sources.      From the beginning of the week, Student Government campaigners were all over the place trying to talk to people, four at a time, as others were trying to getContinue reading “A Week of Dodging and Trying to Find People”
