Fasting!

Howdy!

I don't have many new things to report. Classes have begun and I am really enjoying my classes so far. My Arab-Israeli Politics professor is Canadian and really friendly. I think it will be a good class!

My days are long as I am fasting during this month. I do have breakfast as early as possible before school and I do drink water when it's absolutely necessary but then I don't eat or drink anything else until the adhan (the call to prayer) plays over the loud speaker outside our neighborhood mosque. My professor said the first time he fasted for Ramadan, he lost 17 pounds!! I'm just hoping for five!!!

We have 24 days left here in Amman before we all go our separate ways. An Aggie has moved in to our apartment and we will even have a class together next semester back at A&M! We have a lot of mutual friends and interests and it's so wonderful to have someone who is willing and able to get redass and sing the War Hymn with me!!! I'm so excited to share this journey with someone who will be with me during my last semester at Texas A&M... Wow. I have no desire to say that again for a while....

Class starts in an hour and a half and I still need to finish homework so needless to say, that will be my morning. Frozen orange juice, blogging and homework. Not a bad morning.



See you all soon. I can't wait.


Love from Amman.
