A few thoughts

I am going home in less than two weeks. It doesn't seem real. أنا بحبك يا عمان People here don't beleive me that I'm really going. The ending of school was anti-climactic. People are starting to leave, for good or to travel. I think the next period of time is going to be a bit iffy- up and down. It is good that I have responsibilities to the office, because it gives me something to do during the day. And the World Congress of Middle Eastern Studies should be exciting. I haven't been feeling 100% since coming back from the ride. I hope I can kick whatever this is soon, since I won't have health insurance for much longer. I need to go to Uni tomorrow to pick up my finals and certificate. Maybe I will swing by the clinic and ask for a mono test.
A few thoughts from the last few days:
-In order to drive a bus between Zarqa and Abdali, you must be missing at least 3 teeth (preferably in the front)
-There was a car accident near my house on Saturday. I was in the kitchen washing dishes, and ran to my porch to see what happened. The whole neighborhood had the same idea as me. People came out of houses I thought were abandoned. Men went to the scene to do there man thing and help, while women and children stayed back, lingering in the shade.
-Last night I went to see a classical music concert at the Citadel, in celebtration of Europe Day (1 month delayed- oh Jordan). We only stayed for the first half, but it was pretty amazing to sit in such an old setting with an amazing view of the city surrounded by posh Jordanians. A posh cross-section that I hadn't been exposed to in a while. جبل القلعة [the citadel] is a great place to watch the sun set, over the hills of [jebel hussein] جبل حسين.
