I can't believe it... most people in my group are living for the US tomorrow morning. This semester went by so fast!!! I only have about 2 weeks left over here, and after a semester of missing home, I feel like I'm not ready to leave!!! There are tons of things that piss me off about this culture, but I've gotten used to it! I'm going to miss the people in my program too!! I've spent almost every day since I got here with them!!!
Let me back up alittle and tell you all what's been going on... On Sunday I had my presentation of my research project. I think it went pretty well. Also my advisor read my paper and wants to publish it.. maybe just online.. but still cool! And he was also talking about translating it into arabic for people here to read. I think I'm going to talk to him about that tomorrow..
After a couple days of listening to presentations, we went to Aqaba.. a resort on the Red Sea, for a couple of days of wrap up... "reentry preparation"... I'm not sure how useful it was, but Aqaba was nice! We spent all of yesterday on a boat.. (unfortunately i was shway sick for most of the day).. and it was beautiful.
Now I'm back in Amman, trying to pack up and tie up loose ends here. I'm really glad I'm not leaving tomorrow. I'm not ready to go!!!
