With educational, familial ties, professional, and other ties to the Inland Empire I think I have to face the fact that I'm as much a Inland Empire-er or as I prefer and Inland "Imperialist" as much as I am anything else.
This summer at the CSU San Bernadino Arabic Program I was a T.A (or in Arabic Musahid) which allowed me to renew my connections to the Inland Empire. Not only did I learn a lot but, I meant a lot of great people who gave me new memmories.
My crazy roommates Ahmed, Mika, and Naji, deep discussions with Greg and Nathan, inciting
a lynch mob mentality with Vlad, playing touch Rugby, practicing my Jordanian colloquial with Nova, the high schoolers, cooking with Samia, taking the kids on the electrical cart around campus, which I was not legally allowed to drive and so on. The only thing I can't stand is dance class.
