by Giorgia (’14) I dragged Abigail up top to Mollie Stones with me last week, with the promise of a pompelmo San Pellegrino soda, because I wanted company and she was thirsty. (Now, you see, Abigail and I have a very unique kind of relationship where I wipe flour on her shirt and call her…

by Abigail (’14) Frances and I recently went to another Carville Annex reading. (This time it was at the Carville Annex building in the Sunset, not in a forest glen.)
