| howdy. it's december. that's ridiculous.
we're currently in finals, and i'm working mostly diligently on two final papers that are coming along surprising well.
and then it's a week. and then it's flying home the 21, getting in the 22.
that's astounding.
that's incredible.
that's so many things.
but, before i go, expect a few more updates on the website and also the fotolog. The latter of the two is more of a "...worth a thousand words" type review of the trip that is also kind-of-though-i-wish-it-weren't counting down the days with 22 of my favorite pictures / most defining moments of the trip. Either way, take a look.
and i'll see you fairly soon.
chau,

and for my australian viewers
and a merry Shana Tova u'mtukah to all you out there wherever you may be.
Me? I'm still in Buenos Aires enjoying myself immensely and I encourage you to visit http://www.wam.umd.edu/~nmburka for all the fun and excitement.
Cheers, abrazo, beso, chau, and saludos,

| um, this is no laughing matter.
Steve Irwin dies at forty-four.
Kids, friends don't let friends play with angry sting-rays.
and read my cool argentine journal. I'll be updating shortly.

| okay. so first.
Read this (an editorial in yesterday's Washington Post written by the Prime Minister of Lebanon) and write a letter to the Post or to whomever you feel reminding them that allowing Hezbollah to operate freely in Lebanon and cause terror and destruction in Israel is not acceptable. Also, look up the definition of the word "dignity" because I have a feeling that the writer doesn't quite know what it really means.
Then, read this (an editorial in today's Washington Post written by a former US Ambassador to the UN) and write a letter thanking the writer for reminding the public--or at least, those who read the op-ed pages--that this battle, though yes, bloody and strong, is a showing of self-defense. I can't say I agree with all that the writer says later on in the article, but...
And finally...read this because you want to know how things are in Buenos Aires.
Thanks all.
