Nothing too interesting

Just hanging out in the Language Center's computer lab. We just had our oral interviews, but a few more people still have to go so we're just killing time. Mine was pretty comical, considering my Arabic is really rusty and I accidentally said I ate the city of Irbid this morning. But we all laughed and the professors are super friendly, energetic, and helpful. Tomorrow we have our written placement test which will probably be much less embarrassing.

We're all starting to get to know the city better which is great. A few of us went to a hookah bar last night and man, I have to improve my smoking skills. One of my goals (yes, there's a list) is to learn how to make smoke rings. Other goals include buying a keffiyeh, getting invited to a Jordanian wedding, making a legit Jordanian friend, and traveling to at least one or more of the following places: Syria, Israel, the West Bank, and/or Lebanon. It'll happen.

In case any of you read this, I'll be on skype at around 2pm EST, so chat with me. :) heather.giuffre

Okay? Okay.

  1. Is it still generally impossible to visit all four of those places with one passport, or has that changed?

  3. Yeah, we can Gannon but it depends on the order we go in. Syria won't let you in if you have an Israeli stamp.
