July 26, 2011 • Sherin Nassar ('13) / Eastside Humor Editor
I want to stay in school. Is that such a hard request? Yes, I graduated this year. And yes, I’m 18. And yes, I don’t need or have any courses to repeat, but I want to stay at East. My name is Laura Hinderson and this is true life: I’m addicted to my high school. Just kidding about the true life... Read more »

I´ve got two more days with my host family, and then I move on to the Pyrenees mountains with my group on Tuesday. Camping last week was a lot of fun, but pretty much the same as American camping, as far as I could tell. It´s a little bit difficult to do group activities because when the entire group...

July 21, 2011 • Darby Festa ('13) / News/Features Editor
When Sara Shepard released the previous novel in the Pretty Little Liars series, Wanted, we thought that Ali was dead. A was gone. And the four girls: Spencer, Aria, Hanna, and Emily, were safe.

Well, Hermione Granger sounds extremely shrill in Spanish. I´m not sure whether I´m more disappointed that I saw Harry Potter 7 Part 2 in Spanish, or that I understood most of it (every third word was “muerte”) and didn´t enjoy it. In other news, I´ve officially jumped off a cliff.... Read more »

Voices against Kyleigh’s Law get louder
July 11, 2011 • Amy Myers ('13)/ Eastside Opinions Editor
In order to provide a more ‘aware’ audience when near teenage drivers, New Jersey issued a requirement of red decals on the license plates of cars with probationary licenses under the age of 21. Kyleigh’s Law originated from the death of a 16-year-old who died in a car accident at the fault the... Read more »

So apparently Frederico Garcia Lorca did a lot while he was in New York in the 1930s. I wish I could tell you what he did, but I can´t. I´m sure someone has told me at some point, but the amount of Spanish I comprehend is inversely proportional to the amount of sleep I get. We´ve all been sleeping... Read more »

I´m in Spain right now, sitting at a keyboard where the quotation marks are somewhere above my left hand and the backspace bar says “retroceso.” Also, the ñ is a legitimate button. In fact, I think I´m gonna press it again. Ñ. It´s pretty cool, although admittedly disorienting. I guess... Read more »
