Introduction

Hey everyone, thanks for tuning in! As I am finishing up my preparations to leave for Israel, I wanted to get the ball rolling with my first blog post. This post is an introduction to my blog. For those of you who know me, I love you very much and thank you, in advance, for reading the rest of this post. For those of you who don't know me: I'm surprised that you are reading my blog. Here is a little bit about myself so that you get caught up:

I am a Junior majoring in Psychology at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts (GO JUMBOS!!). I went to Jewish Day School in the suburbs of Philadelphia from kindergarten through 12th grade and spent many a summer at Jewish sleep-away camp. Some of my favorite things to do are cooking, playing sports, Israeli Folk Dancing, and last, but not least, singing with my Jewish a cappella brethren (also known as Shir Appeal). I will be spending the coming semester studying at Tel Aviv University's School for Overseas Students.

I haven't designed a particular format for this blog, so I imagine that the first few posts will a little bit all over the place. This is the first time I have ever kept a blog or journal or anything of the sort and the going will be rough. My goal is to post one or two times a week and allow you to live vicariously through me. With that, I also encourage you to write comments on my posts or send me e-mails or facebook messages. Not only will that help me stay in tune with the interest of the common folk ;) but it will also remind me that I should be putting up new posts.

Thank you all for reading my blog! I'll be getting into Israel on Wednesday and you can expect another post to be up by Friday. I suggest you just stay by your computer until then and click the refresh button on this page every couple of minutes.
