2008 will be my 25th summer at Bennington-- a surprising fact, given that I'll only be 23. But we've gone to Bennington every summer of my life, and I cherish it, not only as an opportunity to play more violin in three weeks than I will the rest of the year, but as a chance to revisit beloved friends and haunts from my childhood and to spend quality time with my parents and (awesome!) little sister.

I'm really glad that the project culminating in this wiki should have given me the excuse to become acquainted with the new generation of Bennington kids (and their infinitely resourceful and sagacious parents). It's been great to spend some time with you guys, and I look forward to a lot more in years to come.

(In real life I'm a graduate student at Princeton, where I study Arabic Literature. I live in Philadelphia. I'm getting married in June.)
