It seems like I'm just starting to get the hang of Hampshire, and it's already time to register for spring courses! (Thankfully, I have a super-good registration time... unfortunately, it is 6:20am.) I've only been at Hampshire for a couple of months, but I'm already building a life here, and really like what I'm doing.
My classes are all on fascinating topics, and it amazes me every day that I'm actually able study what I am: women and economic development, middle east politics, Arab nationalism, genocide, human rights abuses, Africa, diasporas, Haiti, religion, imperialism, and so much much more! Next semester I am going to be doing an independent study on Jewish texts through a feminist lens, and I can't wait!
I am also a signer (Hampshire-speak for one of three people who run a student organization) for Aliz: Queer Jews and Allies, involved in the Jewish Student Union, and play ice hockey for Mount Holyoke, and spend a fair amount of time hanging out there. I also have a great work-study job on campus with wonderful people, who happen to feed me all the time. I've been going back to Boston to see family quite a bit, and I will be back again in two weeks for Thanksgiving vacation!
