exult = rejoice


You know how I became addicted to Celebrity Faceoff - well I just found a new addition.

Warning: This game may make you smarter. You may find yourself racking your brain over which answer to choose. You may actually help someone while sitting on your bum procrastinating.

And this one is actually good! Good for me and good for others. It's called Free Rice. Basically it's a vocabulary quiz (I'm a nerd, I know), but for each word you get right, 10 grains of rice are donated through the United Nations to help end world hunger. A word is shown, and there are multiple choice answers. Click on the answer that best defines the word. If you get it right, you get a harder word. If wrong, you get an easier word.

I'm not a big vocab person (as Mrs. Finch and my other English teachers can attest to), but for some reason my competitive nature comes out and I love trying to figure out the words. Again, nerd, I know.

48,723,340 grins of rice were donated yesterday. I've already helped donated 200 today.
