Waiting on Jordan

To all of my friends, a little background information:

I am currently a Junior at the University of Oklahoma (OU) and I am doing an independent study abroad at the University of Jordan at their International Institute for Teaching Arabic to Speakers of Other Languages (II-TASOL).  My flight is on Thursday, September 13th, and I'll be in Jordan for two semesters.  I want to get an internship either for this Spring, or for the Summer, so depending on what type of internships I get into, I will be back in the States in early to late Summer 2013.

I have found a wonderful host family that I will be staying with in Jordan.  They have 6 children (2 girls who are around my age & 3 boys who are all younger than me & one girl out of the house).  It's interesting how although I hardly know them, I feel like they're already my family.  I am very excited to finally meet them!

It's crazy being here in the States just waiting to go to Jordan.  OU already started their semester so all of my friends are busy with classes.  They graciously make time for me in their busy lives, but it's still just not the same.  I'm left filling my time trying to entertain myself with thoughts of Jordan and thoughts of my beloved friends and family.

I love and will miss you all!
