Fiiiiiight! Fiiiiiiight!

There's been a little bit of unrest on campus these last few days.  Basically, a kid from one tribe (the Capulets) was talking to a girl from another tribe (the Montagues), and the result was a large fight on two consecutive days.  I didn't see or hear any of this, except from my mother who was peppering me with new articles about the outbreaks.  The tribes were apparently throwing rocks at each other and hitting each other with sticks.  There has been heightened security around campus, and a visible police presence at the entry/exit points, which is good.  I have felt safe the entire time.  The main result was 16 expulsions, you can read more here if you want http://jordantimes.com/University+of+Jordan+expels+16+students+over+violence-45998 but I thought I'd just keep everyone updated and let everyone know I'm OK.

UPDATE: P.S. I forgot to add this earlier, but we just reached 1000 views all-time!  Woooo!  Go team!
