First Post

Leaving for Jordan in less than 24 hours. I will spend nine weeks at the Qasid Institute in Amman, studying Arabic language. My last foray into the Arab world (Cairo, Jan-June '08) was catalogued with mass emails; instead of spamming dozens of inboxes again, I figured this time I would post things online and let interested parties check up on my news when they felt like it.

I'll be a bit more verbose in my next few postings - I just wanted to get this thing started now before I got too lazy/busy to start things up.
