For the last couple years I wasn’t in school and really wasn’t doing anything with my life besides working at crap-hole jobs, watching endless hours of mind-numbing tv, and partying every weekend (and unfortunately many weekedays too) I was honestly to this point where I was telling people that I can actually feel myself becoming more and more dumb. I really feel like going back to school changed this a lot and I really don’t catch myself saying “like” all that often anymore and I can’t even remember the last time that one of my friends or family members stopped me midsentence to tell me “wow you just said like about 30 times in that sentence.” (which they used to do all the time by the way) I’ve been reading A LOT more too which I had forgotten how much I liked to do :) I also just got done reading a book called “Made in America- An informal history of the English language in the United States” and maybe just knowing the history of the language and where everyday words originated from helped me a bit too. Oooo that also goes towards my goal of reading more books. So anyway… I feel like I’ve improved enough to cross this off my list :)
