Hey y'all! My name is Kelsey. I'm 19, a junior at George Washington University majoring in Middle Eastern Studies ( and a Sigma Kappa! Hayyy!), and I'm nine days away from embarking on an adventure of a lifetime. I'm excited, nervous, and absolutely convinced the culture shock is going to hit me like a brick wall- while I am striving to re-live Sex in the City, I have come to realize my life will not be quite as glamorous. Plus, any culture shock will be far better than being on campus and seeing the horny little freshmen prowling around like they own the place. Infrequent running water, sand-filled streets, and baggy boy clothes aside, I'm pretty positive Amman will be fabulous! I hope everyone back home enjoys sharing my experiences with me!
I'm stocked up on maxi dresses, hand sanitizer, and dry shampoo, but I do have to say, the only thing I'm not prepared for is meeting my mysterious "host family." Excuse me, but last I checked, moving to a foreign country and living with a family for four months is pretty nerve wracking considering I know NOTHING about them, yet they've probably had my picture on their fridge for two months now.Awkward. All I can do now is hope for the best! and pack - I checked the weight of my bag yesterday and it was ten pounds too heavy! But seriously, living out of one suitcase and small duffel bag for fours months is as close to insane as you can get. The good news is regardless what I wear, people will still think I'm cool- because I'm an American!
