I really do. Especially when I get 4 grades but have to take 6 midterms. WHY DO I HAVE 3 FUSHA CLASSES!?!? grumble. I have that, and a full week this week, and a wedding on Monday, and a paper due the next week. STRESSSSSS.
Otherwise, things are looking crazy but really good. Aya's birthday party was yesterday so we had balloons and cake and Hana made chocolate again (though they weren't as good as Eid's chocolates). Quick reminder, Maher's sister is Diana; her younger child is Aya. And I was wrong--Aya just TURNED 3 yesterday, so she was 2 before. Which explains a lot about her! I mean, she's a wonderful and adorable girl and I love her, buuut she acted like she was 2. On Monday I'm going to a wedding so I need to find something to wear to that. It's not that fancy so I'm going to wear a skirt I have and borrow a shirt. But Amal, the kids and I are still going to go to the suk on Saturday so I can go shopping for myself. For funsies. :) I'm really excited for the wedding! Oh also to prep for it, I was over at Suher's house the other day and I watched one of her sister's wedding shower movie. And I saw that the dancing here, especially by the girls, is a lot of belly-dancing/shimmying...not something i'm particularly good at. So i asked Suher and Diana to teach me, and got an invite to Suher's friend's birthday party on Thursday night. And I'll get lessons there. I love how this connection stuff works.
Today CIEE brought in a special speaker for those who wanted to hear about a certain topic. So I got to hear about LGBT issues in Jordan by one of the few openly gay men in the country. It was REALLY interesting. It was seriously a different mindset then what we're used to. Unfortunately, there's no way I can explain everything appropriately on a blog, so you'll have to ask me in person. And expect to have a long conversation.
The next big trip is gonna be Donna National Park. I'm going with 2 or 3 friends and we're going hiking in a nature preserve, right after finals are done. Perfect way to de-stress! I can't wait!
