Be my pen-pal?

Hello, hello.
Seeing as I will essentially be MIA for the next three and a half months (without a phone, computer, constant address or reliable internet), I thought I would start a little blog so that everyone is aware that I am still alive and well. I leave this Friday (the 16th) for Switzerland, then I am off to India, China, and finally, South Africa.

As I can't really talk to anyone regularly, I would love to become pen-pals with YOU. Send me your address for the semester! Here are mine, for each part of my program:
