Busy Studying

My apologies for my inattention to this blog. I am heading for Jordan very soon and am studying for the Arabic Defense Language Proficiency Test. Most students at DLI take the test after 63 weeks of study. I am in an accelerated 50-week course, and on top of that, I am leaving the course for Jordan ten weeks early. Since I will be testing at a significant disadvantage, I am studying harder than ever--in addition to preparing for my move. Hopefully this blog will get more interesting once I arrive in Jordan, and actually have a day-to-day life interesting enough to write about. In the meantime, I have a couple short topics to post on today.
