This is my new blog post. Bubbale is no longer with us, which is very sad. I miss the little guy terribly.

I've applied to multiple Comparative Literature and other Interdisciplinary Programs, and managed to get into none of the ones in the States. Hebrew U will get back to me in a month. I'm working on applying for Israeli citizenship just in case. I feel like I'm not doing much useful in New York right now and could really use a change of pace, especially a program that will train me in Arabic and bring my Hebrew hopefully up to Native level (I can go on and on in Hebrew, but still need more vocabulary!). Also I've become so interested in the recent (by historical standards) history of the Middle East, specifically Jerusalem and surrounding area, and where better to study all this than in the city itself (coincidentally I put together a poetry collection under the name "The City Itself" about Jerusalem and entered it in a contest.)... Also Hebrew U seems to have a creative writing program in English as of late which sounds fantastic... I hope i get in. It was just over ten years ago that Hebrew U gave me a scholarship for a summer course and introduced me to Jerusalem for the first time. Of course by the end of the summer I was in love with the city and knew that I must come back on every possible occasion...
