This isn't an entry as much as a note for a few interesting things. One of which is a site that my friend Megan sent me a link to: FreeRice. You can quiz yourself on vocabulary here, and learn a lot of new words, while in the process, donating 20 grains of rice for every word you get right. The rice is paid for by the advertisers on the bottom of the site, and it goes through United Nations to starving countries. So if you ever felt like you wanted to make a difference but never knew how, here is a great way to do so.
Another interesting thing I found was this blog: Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog. For those who might not remember, he's the guy you had to read in Senior English; he wrote the Canterbury Tales. (Which I might say, is some pretty racy stuff at times!) I don't even remember how I found it, but it is definitely worth checking out, cause it is funny. The site even has a store so that you can buy custom t-shirts and things, perfect for the Chaucer or English nerd in your life. :-p
