Today, I feel like I've got one foot firmly cemented in acceptance of being here. I've not felt really homesick since Friday, and any unhappiness has to do with specific situations, rather than my actual wanting to be home. I hate to jinx it with saying I'm possibly happy now, but things do feel a bunch better.
I had my class that is the companion to my internship today. It's always a very late day on Mondays, because I'm at school from around 8 until 6:20. It's a really long, long day. Class was particularly interesting, because it was about finding jobs that require trips overseas. It was mentioned that because my study abroad is in the Middle East, I'm doubly marketable to the business world, especially after I finish my MBA. Most people don't know that Jordan is Middle East Lite...only sort of a developing country. Mostly, people assume that it's a bunch of suffering, and if you're working, like I am in my internship, then surely I must have great problem solving skills. We discussed individual career paths for possible interests, I really ended up being the focus of the discussion, so I got a lot of really great ideas.
So I'm ok. :)
