i shall try to post some more pictures, though im absurdly bad at this...

this first one is literally a view of what the study tour was (well, the days we were touring, as opposed to the pitifully boring seminar days, where instead of being on-site and me not listening, we were in a classroom for 6 hours...and it took me until the 2nd week to discover the classroom had wireless internet). this is our professor. yisrael ne'eman (formerly known as ira newman, from new jersey, naturally). he was also the driver and the guide...he would drive us around in a rented sedan...it felt like dad taking us on field trips. awkward.

this is a shot of me, austen and liz pregaming a field study. i wont tell you where the trip was to... ive already done my repenting. it may have been a tediously boring holocaust museum... it MAY have. anyway, we were given a 10 minute break between our morning class and when we had to meet at the car, and there was really no choice but to down beers before...the days were awful. it was all we could do...

as my dear friend sleepy aaron would say, this is a cutesky from on top of masada. austen and me watching the sunrise. self-photographed pictures turn out suprisingly well when they are of the back of your head...especially if the person taking it has conveniently long arms (thanks austen). and to dispel any rumors, YES, i am wearing a bandana and pigtails, and yes, i am 21 years old.

ok. i cant figure out how to load more than 3 pictures at a time, so it looks like this shall be in separate posts... oops. enjoy.
