Well, today is a milestone. After school, I was able to fit in a nap, dinner/family time, ALL of my homework, and a trip out with Jumana, Shereen and Emily. Ilhamdilallah!
Assef - I am sorry. I haven't been very diligent with this blog. Here's a brief summary of the last few days:
1.) I saw a bunch of old Greek Orthodox churches and ancient ruins in Madaba, took a trip up Mount Nebo where Moses supposedly hung around, stepped into the Jordan River where Jesus was supposedly baptized (although for me, far more significant is the fact that Israel diverts most of the water, so this ancient river is down to little more than a trickle), and floated in the dead sea.
2.) The dead sea was very fun, it felt like I was in space, but the saltiness burned every little cut on my body and I could only stand it for 15 minutes.
3.) Happily for me, there was a nice, cold, non-salty swimming pool at the resort we visited. Shereen and I spent a few joyous hours swimming and sunbathing. My new bathing suit is jamila kteer!
4.) I ACED my first Arabic test!! 9.5/10. Go me! Imtihani Arabeeya jayeeda!
5.) Ma-salaama.
