good choices of books and movies :) where are you applying to do your PhD?

[smilezthief]

Right now my top choice is Princeton, the doctoral program in Near Eastern Studies. If accepted, I would love to work with Prof. Bernard Haykel there. It is a very competitive place though and I don't know if it will happen for certain, but I have to try. It will be a dream come true if it does.

Good luck with your work and keep your spirits high!

Lovve, E.

Thank you, my dear friend! I did read some great haikus you wrote -- the toothpaste one resonated quite well. ;-))))
