Gretchen's Grits: August 2012
http://gretchensgrits.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 14, 2012. 8220;Dear Sir: Regarding your article 'What's Wrong with the World? I am Yours truly,”. I tend to have a VERY long-winded answer to that question. Mean drivers on the Beltway, my neighbor whose cigarette-infused apartment. Greets me every day, interminably slow clerks at the store, red lights, Capitol Hill, Westboro Baptist, the cost of gas in Northern VA, and my current supply of chocolate in the pantry. There are MANY things far worse than me. Note: While the validity of this ...

Gretchen's Grits: Gothic/Horror Stories
http://gretchensgrits.blogspot.com/2013/10/gothichorror-stories.html
Thursday, October 24, 2013. My high school class is reading Dracula. I' must be capitalized. No exceptions." "But Miss. It's too hard.". You do not need to hit enter for every sentence. That does not count toward your minimum one page.". A two-paged story should have more than one paragraph.". You're in 9th grade. Do you know how to use a period? Obviously not." (Ok, ok. I was a bit more kind than that.). But I also love the errors due to second language acquisition. How does one gently critique that?

Salud. Plata. Amor.: A "Where were you when.." moment
http://sharayahenargentina.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-where-were-you-when-moment.html
Salud Plata. Amor. Volunteering and traveling in Argentina to proclaim God's great love, and hopefully not getting sick along the way. Wednesday, July 9, 2014. A "Where were you when." moment. Three N. Americans, two Argentines and a Cuban. When my friend Kathryn was in Italy in 2006, I could hardly imagine her delight when the country took home the World Cup. She had told me about wearing the flag as a giant cape and going through the city streets enjoying the celebration. While hanging out with mom and...

Salud Plata. Amor. Volunteering and traveling in Argentina to proclaim God's great love, and hopefully not getting sick along the way. Monday, March 31, 2014. Today was what I like to call un lío. As I entered the girls' institute, I could sense said lío coming upon me. None of the girls will be there this morning," said one of the workers. While anger was slowly stirring within me, it was as if a giant hand touched my shoulder. Slow down. Breathe. This is only a test. Sunday, March 30, 2014. Day 95 actu...

GG: an unnecessary and yet existent analysis. I confessed to my parents that while I was vacationing, I was watching the tv series Gossip Girl. "Don't judge," I said. We all know that it was too late. So I might as well confess:. Now, let me define some of my feelings because, I recognize it, the show is absolutely scandalous. To House of Mirth.
