About chanaswan

In May I will graduate from New College of Florida, a small liberal arts college known for its alternative academic program (read: no grades). I'm presently writing my undergraduate thesis about feminist Passover seders. I'm passionate about learning languages and traveling; I study Spanish, Hebrew, and Mandarin Chinese. I know I look like a shiksa. My dad isn't Jewish.My user name is a combination of my Hebrew name and a modified version of my last name. If you're reading this, you should be my friend! I don't have any friends on this site yet.

Thanks for all the info. "If you think about the total transformation and act of self reinvention that moving to the nascent Middle Eastern state from the centers of Western civilization entailed,  it makes perfect sense. ...
