Yeah, it's actually the staple of my diet here. That and rice.
My little brother listens to Kid Cudi- and I love him for that, and my little sister tries to teach me how to dance like an Arabic pop star- and I love her for that too.
Speaking of siblings- Alex and I wanted to watch one of our super exciting pirated dvd's- so we decided to try The Five Year Engagement... who knew one of the first scenes would be Jason Segel wearing an apron with a picture of a naked man on it, and when he turns around his butt is all out?? I mean, I didn't. LOL.Anyways... I'm sure it's pretty obviously how my little Jordanian sisters reacted. Whoopssss??
I saw a girl wearing Tori Burch flats the other day. No lie- and they weren't even knock offs.
I have come to realize I have to become obsessed with shows over here, because I can't watch my favorite shows outside of the country apparently, or listen to Pandora. Rude. Amman has enough music video channels to keep you entertained for days, but, sometimes a girl just reallyyyyy needs to watch Dance Moms.
Classes here are really, really tough. Even more, being at school all day long is such a shock for me- I've realized how easy I have it back home!
Deciding to live in the Middle East was quite a decision. I miss everyone back home, all of the American comforts you take for granted (aka showers and Internet), and the ease of life. However, being here, has lit an even larger "fire under my ass" to finish learning Arabic and continue learning about the problems facing the Middle East. I came here hoping to find myself and develop clear goals for my future, and after only one week, and I have come to realize the only way problems are going to be resolved is through finding a middle ground, which requires understanding each other. I am beginning to think I want a career in foreign policy making... but, we will see, I change my mind a lot.
Also, I am proud to say I haven't had Pizza or McDonald's yet.

This is me and my little sisters!
