It's already been four days since my arrival! ISA has been so absolutely amazing in EVERYTHING! Every problem mentioned previously was taken care of in less than 24 hours. They're so awesome and my roommates have been so absolutely amazing!
Since the first night, we have been on two walking tours of different parts of Old Amman. It was so cool to see so much history!! We saw downtown Amman and saw the Royal Film Commission's film library. It was so cool! The commission has so many films and periodicals and this really modern viewing station. Me + movies + super cool setting = Oh My Goodness. YES PLEASE. Yesterday we were able to visit old parts of Amman that have been transformed into art houses that show contemporary local artists. It was a really great experience.
Today we toured our university! Oh, HEAVENS there are a lot of hills in this city!! It is so hard to get up some of the hills but the facilities at the bottom are awesome! We got to see the pool, sauna, athletic equipment and bowling alley!! I love that there is a bowling alley! We also took our 201 entrance exam today. I don't think I did very well so we'll see what happens. Other than that, I also received my schedule today. I have Arabic at 8 in the mornings, Sunday through Thursday, and then an American foreign policy class at 10:30 until 12:20.
We went to an orientation meeting tonight then out to dinner to a local restaurant, Jabri. Now we're at the apartment, bonding over a movie and blogging :)
I wish I would have been more detailed but it's been a long couple of days. I promise to try to update more frequently!
Love from Amman.
