Day 2
Ok, first off, there is no way I will be able to keep up daily posts for very long; which is probably better for both of us seeing as how they are not replete with awesome stories…yet.
Today was a whirlwind tour of downtown Irbid, Yarmouk’s campus, and our classroom facilities. Considering our circuitous bus route through narrow crowded streets, and equally nimble weave between hordes of graduating Yarmoukis, it is probably no surprise that I am less sure of my sense of direction than before. Oh well, I will kill part of tomorrow morning getting lost and getting my bearings.
More beneficial probably was the meet and greet with our faculty for the summer. Very nice, very professional, and quite approachable (they all speak a fair amount of English when they need to as they are AFL--Arabic as a Foreign Language teachers). It was a good first impression to have made on their part given I will be working very closely and very hard with them.
