Today as I was perusing TYO’s blog I noticed this.

It looks like TYO has begun recruiting for my companion interns for the fall! Do you have what it takes? Do you have it in you? Just do it? (Are any of these slogans copyrighted?) I would seriously advise that you apply simply for the reason that you think you will miss me just too darn much.

The application is due in a couple of weeks (August 12) which makes me wonder whether they will receive a lot of submissions in that time, especially for such a big commitment to, you know, move to Palestine for a few months. But from what I’ve heard, their Summer internship was a success so hopefully the Fall internship will be too. Anyways, I’ll be there! And how!

In a bit of news that’s much more exciting and much more pertinent to myself (humble creator of this blog) I gleaned from the application that they have set the arrival dates!!! (Hyper-punctuation absolutely necessary.)

So… to all of you who have been wondering when the heck I am actually leaving my answer is this…

Drumroll…

September 27-30!

All right so giving a range of dates rather than a specific date detracts significantly from the impact of this announcement, but I no longer have to fumble with some answer like “mid-to-late September?”

So now I have two more months in this country to do a few things:

1. Find health insurance

2. Get ready

3. Apply to law school

4. NOT PANIC

#4 is kind of key.

It is possible for me to still take the LSAT at the end of September in the US and then immediately run off to Nablus, but I doubt that would make for good mental stability. I’m pretty much set on taking it in Tel Aviv in December.

Before I go, a quick thank you to all who have donated thus far. You are amazing. I received some donations from some unexpected places that I was very touched by. You will all receive individualized thank you’s shortly and postcards from Nablus.
