Ma'aslaamah ya Amman

Well, I’ve finished my last finals. We’ve had our goodbye dinner, and our exit-exam for Arabic. I’ve said a lot of goodbyes, and a lot of see-you-laters. I’ve purchased my last souvenirs from Jordan – and I’m heading out. It’s so weird to say ‘bye. It seems like the semester just flew past – where did the time go? There have been good experiences, great experiences, and some pretty ridiculously terrible ones. Life is a game – I’m glad I took this gamble. I have no regrets on coming over here – and really hope I’ll get the opportunity to return one day. Where am I going? First to Kuwait. Then to Lebanon. Then to the United States. I accepted a job in Lansing, Michigan through AmeriCorps that starts pretty soon after I get back. So as soon as I get home, there will be a whirlwind. My brother’s Eagle Scout Court of Honor. My cousin’s wedding. My brother’s high school graduation and graduation party. My moving to Lansing, finding an apartment, and buying a car. Seriously – How exciting is all of that? I'll be posting a few tips on where to go, what you should do, what was good, and what was bad. Stay tuned!
