It seems like ...

... I have a real little zionist in my Hebrew class. Today, before the lecture, he first complained that the faculty (of Semitic Languages) was full of photographs from Arab countries, but nothing that had to do with Israel or the Hebrew language. Then, during the lecture, he gazed with dismay at my kheffiyeh. Finally, after the lecture, he found some posters from the University of Amman, advertising studies in Arabic for foreign students, and read out aloud some text on them with an exaggerated fake Arabic accent, while trying to catch my glance.

Yes, either he's a zionist, or he has a crush on me. Or both, what do I know ...

Anyway, we have a guest professor from Amman in my Arabic class, and we had the first lecture with him today. Which was pretty ... interesting.
As-sayyiid 'A*** has a great personality. When he teaches, he jumps around and shouts cheerily. Sometimes in English, more often in Arabic, most of the time both at the same time. In between all the Arabic grammar terms he expects us to know, he gives comments like "Yes, in Arab countries, we can have many wives! Four wives! Yes, it's very nice!!", and every now and then, he checks that his fly isn't open. Indeed, his lecture today was quite refreshing ... I actually learned a lot.

I figured it could be nice to have a blog with slightly more interaction with other people, than my other one at Blogger.com. The templates here are a bit more imaginative, too, but I WANT TO MAKE MY OWN HEADER GRAPHIC!!!!

Oh, and there's another problem: Explorer freezes when I access this site. Yeah, thank Antichrist for Mozilla ...
