On tuesday I'm leaving for Jordan were I'm going to be for the next six weeks studying Arabic. I applied for a scholarship in early may for this thinking that I wasn't going to make it due to the fact that they were only choosing 14 people from the whole country. Me and Gretchen Belnap are going together (she was the one who told me about the program). I'm quite "stoked" about the whole thing, and suprisingly I'm not woried about being kidnaped or anything. I'm going to be able to be close to the internet for most of the time I'll be there, so this blog will serve the purpose of telling those of you who want to know whats going on.
-cheers
