Dust, Dirt, and Defiance

Today, we finally got to go sight seeing. We went to the Umm Qays ruins in Jordan- it was phenomenal

We got to see colums and mosiacs and ... ah I dont even know- SO much. The history of the middle east is truly amazing.

Hands down, the most breath-taking part of the whole experience was the sunset over the mountains... Its kinda awesome to think even if you never have the chance to go explore the world, anyone and everyone can experience the beauty of a sunrise or sunset. Its one of the few things that one human cannot deny another. sA, to me, its the most beautiful site and the fact that I got to experience it at an astonishing archaelogical site in another country was just the cherry on top.

Today was perfect, and I only wish I could give you all a piece of that sunset but a picture is all I have- a picture does not do this moment justice.

Word Play

So I was playing an online game, Text Twist
.. if you haven't played it before, the basic objective is to unscramble a number of letters into as many words as you can.
...I wanted to see how many words I could create with my name- FURAT- five letters.
play along with me.
AT
RAT
FUR
TAR
FAT
RUT
FRAT

... thats depressing

I am a fat rat stuck to the tar in a rut at a frat.

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry

Freshman year is over.
over.

After goodbyes and summer wishes, its time to venture off to another place. Summer's here and in nine days I'll be on a plane flying to Jordan... the thought of layovers and flight delays, of reading tons of books and watching less than extraordinary airplane movies is ironically exhilarating.
