I realise that a good number of people would talk about the return to studying at Jordanian universities and all the debris of thoughts and impressions related to it. And being an undergraduate student myself I figured I could jot something down as well even though I am not entirely sure I want to.

This being my grand finale I admit to having been reluctant about actually getting to the university campus, since any such step could ruin the so-called prestige of a senior student. But once I found myself wide awake at around 9 a.m., the damage was already done.A nice little parade was, obviously, organised. Following is a picture I took while swaying to the music. I must say this was one of the things I enjoyed the most.

On another note, I have come to fully understand the importance of my right shoulder, or my two shoulders to that matter. I have been rubbed against, bumped and pushed by several physically better-endowed females. I apologised for being elfin. Ironically, none of them was verbally sorry or expressed any regrets as to having overpowered a smaller specimen of the female gender. I would like to believe they sincerely wanted to but could not due to chaotic pedestrian traffic.

I also do believe that due to my petite stature and the recurrent calls to and from my cellular phone revolving around the vital yet minimal question of Where Are You I was mistaken for a freshwoman. One would think I was pleased at such a potential label seeing as I previously expressed my frustration when people think I am older.

Regardless of the labels and the illusionary status, its good to be back. I am eager to start my usual discussions and be inspired by the intellectual climate that I hope I will manage to find.
