Oh man Ramadan is interesting. the days are dull, not much is open. I have sooo much homework but can't seem to get started so this is my procrastination. I have to write a 5 page paper on petra (not that exciting) but what sucks most is i don't know how to type on an arabic keyboard. (ps the spacebar on this computer is sticking so if two words are together please forgive me) I only know how to write phonetically and that wasn'ta problem on my wonderful amazing beautiful computer,but now it is becausei am currently writing at an internet cafe.
Ramadan is really boring during the day, and it kinda sucks cause it is illegal to have food or drink in public, so when i go out to the internet cafe, i can't drink for hours. it ends around 7:30 or 8. and then the party starts. everything opens, and is open way late. people sleep all day and are up all night. it is crazy. they have to eat breakfast around 4:30 or so, so most don't go to bed before that. unfortunately, i have classes still, so i will be a grouch for a bit i think.
I have several Jordanian friends, and yesterday, I was helping two of them study for their english exam. it was very upsetting. Their teacher was teaching them incorrectly!!!!! I know i am not formally trained in english, but i am a native, and i know what is and is not correct in my own language. it killsme that they are trying to hard to learn a language, but they are being taught incorrectly!!!! what is the point?! it does make me feel good to know that their english is at the same level as my arabic, and we can communicate perfectly well.
I am sorry to say that due to my dead computer, there wont be any more photos on the blog until september, but I hope you all will still read and enjoy it!
