The Beginning of the End


A week. It’s been a week since I’ve last written. Nothing much has evolved in my immediate surroundings (thankfully only six rockets have been fired from Gaza this month), but in my personal world I can see at least two major developments I’ve learned about. In no particular importance: the NCAA declares it’s punishment on Penn State students, and the Syrian Rebellion imports foreign fighters, and begins to spread to neighboring countries. I have no interest debating either issue, nor delving deeply into either. I prefer not to leap to conclusions as I feel that many do, and would need at least some time to research the scathing remarks bubbling in my head, validating them before slandering or tarnishing another person.

All the same, I believe that my comments should be an indication of where exactly I stand on these issues. After several arguments, I have found that voicing an opinion counter to that of the media is considered ‘idiotic’, and ‘wrong.’ In an attempt to avoid passing judgment, I think I’ll avoid digging deeper here as well. Well, that sure makes this a boring post, doesn’t it?

I have to laugh at that. But, I feel that I should contribute a little more than two vague paragraphs, barely two thoughts. The summer semester has begun, which means numerous things. Almost done with my master’s degree (which is in itself a scary proposition); however, we haven’t even finished with the last semester yet. I have my last exam tomorrow, and two more papers to write in addition to the condensed summer courses. At least, I have more days off: mostly to be spent reading, researching, and possibly traveling. Two places on that list are Caesarea, and the Hula Valley. If there are further suggestions for Israeli locations of interest I would be all ears (this is me attempting to get some interaction from those who visit this page).
