Water Challenge!

Tonight marks the beginning of Extd. 120's water challenge week! My colleagues and I are required (unless it endangers our health or safety) to use only water outside of where we live. For Wellesley students: no water from our dorms. For our teacher, Amy, she has to knock on her neighbors' doors! This challenge is intended to make us understand what people in developing countries go through every day. We take readily available, clean water for granted, and I'm sure this exercise will make us think twice about the lives we lead and better value what we have.

My plan for tonight: use the bathroom and brush my teeth in the science center and hope for the best. Tomorrow morning I will go to a friend's dorm to shower before classes. I will also go pick up a bucket from a friend so that I can flush the toilet in my dorm. My water bottle is filled up so I will be all set for drinking water.

Here we go!
