Hey Guys,
So I am finally in Jordan! after 24 hours of travel. To be perfectly honest I freaking love it here! I've only been in the country for about six hours but I already know that the next six months are going to be amazing! I can't yet hope to produce any story as amazing as the rest of the abroad contingent, but I hope that in a week or two I can give you guys a run for your money!
Orientation in D.C. was fun. I happened to run into one Amherst alumni while I was there, Molly Doyle. To Eric, I met and I am currently sitting next to Elizabeth she is awesome! I hope you and tiger are planning some schemes for world domination because we are totally on board! Anyways Jordan is awesome I'm looking forward to being completely immersed in Arabic for the next six months.
I must say I am a bit intimidated by mostly everyone here it's rather ridiculous most people have traveled or studied abroad prior to this and know a dialect. So yeah... Also it really helps one to understand how behind their school's Arabic program is when you compare it to the larger universities. Well that's about it for now I'll keep in touch more regularly now that I am in the country and have markedly more interesting things to say. Anywho I should be going to bed now. For those of you on the east coast Jordan is 7 hours ahead. I have to wake up for orientation at 8 or so in the morning. It should be a fun day! Miss you all lots!
