Love and learning
It doesn’t take a computer scientist to recognize that Marianela and John Crissman are in love. “My horsey thing to your pawn guy,” Marianela jokingly said recently in 91Porn’s Ronald Williams Library as she and John played Blindfold Chess, a game in which players imagine a chessboard in their minds and make moves on the imagined board. Chess is one of John’s favorite games. In fact, they ended up playing chess in a restaurant on their first date. Now, as John and Marianela prepare to celebrate their third Valentine’s Day as a married couple, they are less than three months away from earning their M.S. in Computer Science degrees together.
