Had our first test and it was pretty damn difficult, but not impossible I guess. My time is nearly entirely consumed by homework but this weekend we visited some ancient sites like Um Qais, the Aljoun Castle, and Jerash. Lots of Roman ruins which were fun to climb around on and explore.
Some other interesting things about Jordan: people are absurdly, borderline uncomfortably friendly. Me and two of my friends were eating dinner tonight, came up to us, asked if we spoke English, then promptly invited the guy in our group to visit his village and asked to be his friend. All before asking his name! Our friend Mohammad routinely gets asked for his number and invited to dinner by other guys. People will offer you free rides and invite you to coffee because you're American. At the ruins yesterday a girl asked us if we would take a picture with her...just because.
In my free time, I've been hanging out with people in the program and watching TV either in Arabic or with Arabic subtitles. I've gotten super into CSI NY and ER, let me tell ya.
