So I write a lot on here about the cool weekend trips I do, but I feel like I haven't done any justice to the absolutely amazing things I do here on a daily basis! So here's a quick run-down of my life Sunday through Thursday:
We wake up at 7 and get ready, eat some pita and hummus or Nutella at the apartment or stop by Gloria Jeans/Indoor Cafe/El Turko/Aaka for muffins, coffee, tea, labneh, or falafel. We walk down to the tunnel to cross over to the university. The gates are guarded all day, so you have to scan your ID to get in. While there were still a lot of students in classes it was very intimidating to walk through campus to the Language Center, but most of them are gone now.

We have class for four hours in the Language Center (9 a.m. until 12:40 with a 20 minute break at 10:40). Afterwards my roommate and I hightail it back to the apartment, do our homework, and take a nap! It's one of my favorite times of the day. I usually take this time to blog, do some personal writing, catch up on the news, and read as well.

I swear I actually do homework |

She loves me <3 |
Around 5 we figure out what the evening plans are and get ready! Then we either go study (usually at Al Baal or the Doors, where the people who like hookah can get some and where we can do homework and quiz each other and eat all at the same time!) or go out to dinner and then out, usually at one of our favorite restaurants like Abu Jabaara (and Habeeba afterwards--the best desert in Amman!)

Falafel, hummus, veggies, pita, tea, and I believe some ful |

Ladies night at one of our favorite places with excellent decor and outdoor atmosphere |
 |
The rightly infamous Habeeba kanafe! So delicious and only 1.5 JD! |
After dinner we like to go to Rainbow Street and hang out at the cafes and bars with some of our local friends!
I don't have photo cred for all of these, but how could I not include all of these photos? Here's to these nights.
