still plodding along in the heat. kids aren't coming to the center anymore, they are on summer break till the end of august. soon i will be starting to teach 9 english classes a week, so expect me to soon be complaining a lot about feeling overworked and tired. cause that's how i roll. next week i go down to aqaba to do a summer camp where i will be teaching environmental english. i think this means i will be teaching environmental awareness stuff in english, but really, i have no idea. the camp isn't run by peace corps volunteers, we just sort of help them, more like camp counselors i think. clearly i am feeling very eloquent today. sorry.
oh the most important thing that has happened recently is that i discovered the band The Horse Feathers. love it. well i guess more importantly i discovered the npr podcast 'all songs considered' which is introducing me to all kinds of new music.
for reference this is what i hear all day. there are basically two types of jordanian music: the habibi women who i really dislike and won't subject you to, and the jeash (soldier) music which i do like. i wish i could find a song that i actually hear all the time (swear there are about 8 habibi songs and 12 jeash songs on constant rotation in the country, but this one is pretty representative.
and here are the horse feathers.
