  1. Nice blog! Yeah, it looks like you have also checked out my brother's blog, which is onelowerlight.com/jordan08 - he was in Jordan much more recently than I was. He, however, lived in Amman, whereas I lived in Irbid. If you want some contacts or more information, feel free to shoot me an email at kalzbeta@gmail.com! Good luck with the CLS scholarship; I got married last year and they (pathetically) don't do very much to encourage married couples to apply. As in, we wouldn't even be able to live together. Stupid. Oh well. I'm sure it will be a great experience for you!
