I went to www.freerice.com and donated 1000 grains of rice. The sight is very interesting because not only are you increasing your vocabulary in a fun way it really donates money to poor children who need food.
Week 2:
I posted a six word memoir on the Smith sight. My six words were "Live Love and dare to dream." It is a quote that has always inspired me. I saw it for the first time in Hawaii on this bracelet my surfing instructor gave me. It had a black string and a shell with that inscription on it. I don't know why but it just hit home for me and it makes me think of all the amazing times I had there.
Week 3:
I went to NPR and listened to an article on how to remove ear wax. I learned that ear wax is a build of of dead skin and goop found in the ear canal. Removing it is dangerous but leaving it there can lead to impacted ear wax which effects the diaphragm and makes you cough. The most common way to remove it is using a Q-tip but apparently that compacts it in your ear and can also lead to impaction. The safest way to remove ear wax is with a special tweezers and they recommend seeking the assistance of a professional.
Week 4:
At the web of language web sight I picked the story "Illinois bans male pronoun." The university has forbidden any web or printed text to have a gender specific pronoun. I think that this is good because it promotes equality among the sex's and will make people aware of how often text is gender specific.
