Editing Wikipedia

It was hard to know where to start with this assignment...who am I to start a new Wikipedia entry or even edit one? I know very little about a lot of things and next to nothing about most things. I decided to edit some information on the Wikipedia page for my high school, North Shore Country Day School, in Winnetka, IL. Since this was just an exercise, I figured it wouldn't matter how much or how little I added. I skimmed through the information that was already on the page and noticed that the description of Interim Week was a little scant, so I added a sentence providing some details.

I'm not sure exactly how the whole Wikipedia thing works in terms of verifying information, but I checked a few hours later and the sentence was still up there. I'm curious to see if it will stay.

I've used Wikipedia several time in the past, but never thought about editing anything. Now that I realize how simple it is, I might brush up on some obscure facts and edit Wikipedia pages for fun. Actually, I'll probably never do that. But it's a funny thought.

It's Not Easy Being Green

I moved into my studio a week ago. And when I say studio, I don't mean one of those spacious, they-call-it-a-studio-but-it's-really-a-smaller-one-bedroom type of a studio.
