Miscellaneous

- Almost two weeks later, the fish are remarkably still alive

- Foods I have eaten with french fries in/on them: falafel sandwich, two different types of chicken sandwich, scrambled eggs

- New favorite sandwich: chicken, french fries, ketchup, coleslaw, garlic. Mmm.

- Favorite part about my internship: "breakfast" at 1 in the afternoon with my coworkers - pita, hummus, assorted other yummy things to eat with pita including aforementioned eggs and french fries.

- I have a peer tutor. She speaks Arabic, English, German, and Urdu - and is pretty much fluent in all of them. I am in awe (although it really doesn't help me when she starts chattering in German)

- Went to a really cool environmental film festival at the Jordan Royal Film Commission. Amazing venue (views of the citadel and downwtown behind the outdoor screen) and really interesting movie (The Age of Stupid - go watch it) that was partly set in Amman - at the end, there's a shot of a Middle Eastern street with a Burger King and McDonald's on it - the University of Jordan is across the street and I walk by those restaurants every day on my way to the computer lab.
