        What's in a name?  What's out a name?  Ana ismi thaabit.  Simply put, "my name is thaabit". Better yet, "my name is steadfast". This is my name I chose for myself in Arabic class. It was the first Arabic name I ever wrote, as a practise for learning the alphabet. The n...

         When I was in Jerusalem doing study abroad, my bank account stood at about $100.    I really think that's where it was at.    Total.    No savings.    Everything I had went towards financing the trip, and at least lunch was prepaid.    I had enough leeway for an occasional bottle of juice, a...
