Hey all. I recently returned from Israel, where I went to prepare for my immigration to there this summer. It helped me recover from a rather difficult semester, and right now, things are looking pretty good. The trip to Israel, short though it was, was absolutely crammed with activity. For now, I don't have any poignant reflections or interesting insights (at least not that I'm going to type up right now), so I hope you're satisified with this:
