We are at the university today, sorry \i can't seem to figure out how to make\a \capital letter. we had a meeting with the head of the literature dept to discuss the\state of education. in jordan students learn english from the first grade. at the\end of 9th grade they decide if they are going on a math/science track or a\humanities track. that decides which way they will go when they reach the university level. seems everyone is concered with the state of education today.\this\afternoon we will be meeting with teachers from public and private schools. we are also invite to a wedding tonight. it is very warm today but we\are\not having a heat wave like europe nor or we having any monsoon rains. sat\
we are going to the dead sea. tomorrow is a free day, yeah as \i have \not gone shopping yet for anything. \prices are high here. \oh and this is so a \muslim country.. there are only a few places that serve alcohol and there are no street drugs to be found anywhere, which is also kind of nice as there are no drunks or\addicts hanging out on street corners or begging. \\\\\\\\\\\\
mimi just found my hiding place and is now in the library with me. this is the first\high speed decent connection \i have found. \interesting discussions and people\we are meeting.\
after the visits to the refugee camps \i felt that \i really needed to change my life and be more realistic and maybe work for the \un.. as soon as we hit town and\
\i came upon the first jewerly store \i realized what \i was really missing was\
something gold and turqouise, whew, for a minute there \i thought i'd changed..\
loving the hotel laundry service \i have no idea what it costs, i've heard 2.5 jd\\
per item which i think is about $3.00 but oh well, i'm not about to wash stuff out\
in a sink, good grief..i still have not run out of adorable outfits and i have talked\with one of our guides and they are going to give my old long skirts and t's
to \iraqi refugee's when \i leave..
well, maybe \i'll go back for the last 10 minutes of class.. mmm \no\
