Survivor

I realized the other day that Survivor the TV reality show lasts only 28 days. Currently I still have 24 days in Jordan but when I had this thought I still had 32. Althought it feels like I'm almost done I still have a lot more to go. Judging by all the drama that happens in the 28 days of Survivor, anything is still possible here in Amman.

I still have 9 finals to prepare for (6 Arabic, 1 in class, 1 paper, and 1 take home essay). I've started my paper and thought about studying but I'm so unenthusiastic about these tests that it is hard to find the motivation. Most often I just lounge around watching bad TV.

I found out today that I am done with finals on the 9th of June. That means that I have about 8 days to do absolutely nothing. I won't be able to travel to Syria because my visa runs out next weekend. Traveling to Israel is just too darn expensive to be practicle. That means 8 solid days hanging out with the family and most likely going nuts. :)

Other than that things are pretty normal here in Amman. It has gotten really hot lately although it has cooled down a bunch today. I'm going with my family to Irbid this weekend so hopefully we will be able to relax out of the heat. On Sunday we will celebrate my birthday so that should be a lot of fun. Just a few more weeks and I'll be back in the states as long as too much drama doesn't ensue during these last 24 days.
