an updater interlude..

Hey,

So before i launch into the next real post I guess i owe a bit of explanation, i'm not sure why, but i feel like writing as if there were some broad audience that is reading it, when really there are only like 8 people all who know me, so its not like you don't know what i've been doing since the last post i wrote, but humor me if you will.

I believe i left off halfway through a trip to Syria, i got through the first 2 days and then just didn't get around to writing anything until now. Sufficed to say i am no longer in Syria. After that trip I went back to finish up the semester in Amman, with a weeklong trip to Egypt included, then said goodbye to my host family and took all my luggage (along with Sam, Peter and Clarence) to Israel/Palestine, where we stayed in East Jerusalem and visited Bethlehem, after which Clarence and I flew out of Tel Aviv, he to Paris, and I back home to good ole NC just in time for Christmas cheer. After this i went back to Penn for the spring and secured an internship in India from the Center for the Advanced Study of India at Penn who provided me with $3,000 buckaroos to intern with a local NGO called the Grassroots Development Laboratory in a small town called Bagar in Rajasthan in the northern part of the country, where i arrived yesterday after flying into Delhi the day before.

so that should get "us" up to speed i guess.
