the whole 20 for 2.0 thing

I'm running behind schedule (those who know me are shocked. SHOCKED) Setting up the blog was super easy, easier then I expected. I slowed myself down by waiting until I could upload a picture. I've enjoyed reading through the blogs. I can really see how connecting with a group of people with similar interests/working on the same project could be useful. I'm still not quite sure how you make those connections though. I've left comments, but I mean how do you get noticed by the larger blogging universe (if that is what you want?) And while I appreciate reading the tips from the people who have been blogging a long time - I can tell that it would be easy to spend vast amounts of time personalizing a blog. So, for right now I'll keep it simple.

Now that I no longer have to worry about the S.A.T.s

I've recently become addicted to a website that lets you improve your vocabulary and help end world hunger at the same time. It's always nice to get warm & fuzzy feelings about your obsessions. For every word you get right at Free Rice, 20 grains of rice are donated through the UN World Food Program. It adjusts to your vocabularly level - not that I care what level I'm at. Really, in no way am I competing with my friends and family about what level we are at - it's all about the hungry people.
