Cinnamon Challenge
I'm obviously still 12, because I tried the Cinnamon Challenge this weekend. For those of you who don't know, the challenge is to swallow a whole teaspoon of cinnamon without any water.
Yeah...that's impossible.
This video from GloZell on Youtube has gone viral. I wanted to try the challenge because I thought surely this lady was exaggerating.
She's not. The stuff literally gets stuck in your throat and burns--you feel like you can't breathe. I spit out cinnamon all over the kitchen and had to vacuum it up. KT thought I was being dramatic and had to try for herself. That didn't work out too well either.
Reading
Yep, two English books that I
Essay Writing
I was obviously very productive on those two essays I needed to finish.
Hanging Out With the Fam
We watched Persepolis together over the weekend. The movie is about a girl growing up in Iran during the 1970s, which is a time of turmoil and revolutions. It was a good thing my parents watched the movie with me--they remember the war Iran had with Iraq in the early 80s, so they explained the controversy for me. I feel very naive when it comes to problems in the Middle East, and I want to read more books about all the issues going on over there.
Sunday I had Easter brunch with my extended family at an Irish pub. I don't know if it's just me, but when I think of Ireland, it doesn't scream out "Easter" to me. But the food was good and I got to be with my family.
And now it's back to the grind. Hope everybody had wonderful breaks! Tell me if you did anything fun this weekend.
I'm in love with cinnamon ;)
