In less than 48 hours I will be in Jordan. It hasn't hit me at all yet. I'm just chillin in my bed in good old Dayton, OH. The house that I am in has been with me since the day i was born. I don't enjoy change. The furthest move I have ever made was to Oxford, OH haha. When I've traveled outside of the US it has been with family... and close friends if you count spring break. The point is, I have rarely been outside of my comfort zone. This trip is huge for me. Do you smell that? yes yes, that's freedom. Am I....
nervous?... yes
excited?... hell yes
homosexual goat?.... fuck yes
Right now I'm sure I have a pretty inaccurate perception of the way Amman is going to be... I picture India, but replace all the Indians with Arabs, less traffic, less people, more hijabis, a better sounding language, and instead of rikshas there will be flying unicorns.
The fact that Jordan is a Muslim country is also a reason I am so excited to be going on this trip. I will be able to get in touch with the religious side of my roots. I'm not saying Im going to be spending all my time in masjids, I'm just excited for that atmosphere. Hearing that Athan (call to prayer) in the morning, that kind of stuff sends chills up my spine, it's beautiful.
Well..... Until Jordan

I will be traveling the Middle East for the next 9 weeks. Amman, Jordan is where I am living. The purpose of me being here is to learn Arabic. I want to come back semi-fluent. Most of all, I want to find some direction. I am most passionate about helping those in need and environmental issues. If I can combine these interests and channel them toward achieving a goal that I feel is necessary for our society to accomplish, I think then, with regards to my career, I will be happy. ....meow
