About Me



So, I live in Israel where I am a student at Ben Gurion University's Medical School for International Health. Let's see... since classes have started, I read a lot, spend hours at the hospital and occasionally join a group of doctors that either volunteer their time at an Immigrant/Migrant Worker clinic in Tel Aviv or that run a mobil clinic in the West Bank.I like music, chocolate chip cookies, and hanging out on the beach.

spring cleaning?

I woke up today determined that after just staring at the Pilates DVD sitting on my shelf for 2 months, that I would actually stick it into my laptop and do it.  After getting about half way thro...
