Live from Rindge, it's Monday night

And here begins my first post from the NHC Summer Institute 2009! So far, the program is off to a fabulous start. I’m meeting a lot of new people, more than in past years, which is interesting. I think my sort of circle of teen friends is making a more concerted effort to expand ourselves this year. Needless to say, it’s been fabulous reconnecting with old friends. It looks to be a terrific week, between my awesome classes, the facilitated dialogue re: “Israeli-Palestinian conflict”, and the general atmosphere of interesting people doing interesting things.

In other, extremely exciting news, I am going to start blogging at Jewschool! A while back, I let Ben Murane know that I was interested in writing for them (I’ve been reading it for a while), and when I saw him today, he said they said yes. I am uber-pumped to get started. I don’t really know any details yet, but I am going to talk to a bunch of people who are part of the editorial comittee this week to find out more. I suppose I’ll write more when I know more.

So, in summary, I am looking forward to a terrific week of various awesome things, which I will write more about as they occur. For now, I will sleep.
