The End

Hmm, that title seems unnecessarily ominous. Quick updates to people I don’t talk to generally:

1) I finished my bachelor’s degree, as well as a senior thesis, and some research.

2) I am returning to India for the third summer to fix my Hindi skills. In Jaipur. With a State Department scholarship.

3) In the fall, I’ll be starting a master’s degree in urban planning.

4) I will start a new blog, the URL of which will be posted here, when I get it off the ground. Main reason — seems disingenuous to continue labeling myself as an academic vagrant, when I now have a degree in a field.

5) Los Angeles is heaven on Earth. I just consumed like 3 lbs of cherries. It was sunny today, dry and cool. The streets are lined with avocado and citrus. The number of bicycles in this city grows by the day. It was also my mother’s birthday today. These are the kind of updates that belong on a twitter feed that will never exist.

Thanks to everyone for reading and keeping up — this has been a very rewarding space to write in, and I’ve particularly enjoyed all the comments and input over the past three years. It’s helped me get a sense of the issues I care about and will hopefully continue to work in rural/international development (through urban planning, a wonderfully ill-defined field).
