Today, we toured the University of Jordan Campus. The sun was out, and the weather was GORGEOUS.
 |
| My Jordan School of International Service |
 |
| The Language Center |
 |
| The "Yellow Building" as the students call it |
 |
| The Clock Tower is by the Main Gate of the campus, and apparently it is where all the freshmen stand when they don't know where to go. |
 |
| I wasn't expecting the campus to be so green! |
 |
| The Administration buildings |
 |
| The Main Gate |
 |
| The Library! |
Then we took the Arabic Placement Exam and Oral Proficiency Interview. Three and a half straight hours of arabic. Ouch.
 |
| This is what a three hour long test does to a person. |
Tonight, as a last hurrah at the hotel, ten of us ventured to City Mall, which was about a ten minute taxi ride (which, total, came up to the astounding price of 3JD each way). During our taxi ride, our driver hit a pot hole and got a flat tire! No worries, he pulled to the side of the road to make a phone call, and in less than ten minutes had changed the tire. We made it to City Mall safe and sound, and I have to say it was impressive.

| City Mall! |
 |
| For Mum: The Jordanian equivalent of Bed, Bath and Body Works! There were tons of "American" shops like Sbarro, Carvel & Cinnabon, Zara, Gymboree, Claire's, Starbucks, and more! |
 |
| Dhriti likes the slanted, handicap accessible, escalators almost as much as I did. |
 |
The only comb we could find had an afro pick...

 |
The Host by Stephanie Meyer...in Arabic! (Be prepared for tons of these pictures)

Tomorrow we move into our apartments, and as a consequence I probably won't be blogging for a few days. My promised schedule of one post a week will probably go into effect soon, with classes starting February 1st and just less internet. The honeymoon period is about to end...and the real adventure begin!
