July 24th 2010 Sitting in the Living Room on the blue couch in the apartment: Ok it seems that these might be once a week ventures if not much is going on around here. This past week I had class and we had a mid-term at the end of the week. It was 10 pages long and consisted of 4 Chapters, including new phrases, vocabulary, and grammar. It was pretty tough even though I had Cameron's old test as a study guide and to see how the format might be. This was alw...

Sitting on a bench at the Port Authority in Nuweiba Egypt July 17, maybe 11:40am? OK where to start? It has been a long, tiring, and awesome 2 days. We left Amman yesterday at 4:20 pm on a Jett Bus and it cost 6.50 JD. The cab driver taking us to the station was very nice and we spoke in Arabic with him all the way there.

July 11, 2010 Sitting in class room during lunch break: I just ate some falafel and it was Aadee (normal, nothing special). No Shewarma today but I'm looking forward to wedding food tonight.

This past weekend was really good, we went to Wast al Ballad and shopped around. I bought the Lord of the...

July 8th Sitting in Apartment: Waiting for the Office to load... Ok, reading the last post, looks like I was describing some new restaurants I've been to. The last of these is probably the most beneficial in the fact that it is close in proximity to Qasid. I have been to lunch at this place and have gotten Shewarma everyday this week. It's nice to have some meat for lunch so I'm not hungry or crave it at night for dinner. Therefore, we don't go to the Y...

July 7th? Sitting in Class: waiting for it to start back after lunch. Wow, it has been way too long since I last wrote anything. I'll try to sum up the basics. Class is flying by, we're already on the 6th Chapter (we started on the 4th chapter) and today I had a quiz on about 200 terms from both chapters. Tomorrow we have a quiz on the grammar portions of the texts. Nothing much has happened. I've tried 4 new restaurants, one was a Johnny Rockets type...
