a long break

i want to thank everyone again who kept in touch here and supported me on this trip. i wish i had more internet access in palestine to update you, but as you've probably noticed, even 24/7 access like i have here doesn't necessarily mean more posting! i did start school again almost as soon as i got back and have been pretty busy with that ever since-- i'm working on my undergrad thesis which will be due in may. i do hope to post some stories from the summer here, and i will continue to use this blog for trips to the middle east in the future.

so no need to check back often. to most of you this blog is not our only communication, so by other means, please keep in touch!
