FreeRice Challenge, and more about words

Here.

It's one of the most bloodily marvelous ideas spawned out of Internet. No hassles, no gruesome paperworks to be sent in, no pennies to collect nor shoe boxes to wrap up on disgusting christmas wrappings, and the rice is distributed by WFP so less fear of messy dealings...or one hopes.

Simple. Devious. I like it. (That's a quote from a computer game. Now you know what kind of a person I am.)

Rice is given to the hungry. We learn more vocabulary. Especially, I get the satisfaction that while I am supposed to be writing essays instead of agonising over a particularly difficult word, I do it because this is much more important than a sad piece of work about evolution of land plants. I'm out to save the world, watch out gals!

By the way, I'm at about level 36~40. I think that's pretty impressive from a person who's first language is not even remotely connected to English linguistically. *rampant arrogance*


ps. I have finally obtained Mooncup from Boots yesterday (and promptly felt cheated because online mail order was cheaper) Review will come later after I try practicing it. (Am actually on periods now, don't want to try it withtout getting absolutely confident on how to put it in and out, so practice will begin later when I don't have to worry about bloody floors)

Until then, my 20-quid silicone gizmo will sit on my sink in its pretty floral box packaging.
