About this blog

So I'm spending 7-8 months in Israel and writing a blog, more for my own keeping because I like to remember everything, but also for any amigos who might wanna take a peek. I'll be working at the Weizmann Institute of Science, enlisting in basic army training geared towards foreigners, and spending a little time at the end traveling around Italy/France. Then med school back home. I will try to write, or at least write as if, all the entries come that very day in order to make them as authentic and real-time as possible. Because when writing about things in the past, it often turns into a narrative with a touch of entertainment mixed in. We'll see.
