improve my vocabulary

when i was in school both high school and college, i realized it was fun to learn. people liked you more. one i started learning more words and how to speak i really took to it. i thought i would get somewhere and really impressed my teachers.

it was so nice to have a feeling of being on my own and accomplishing something for a change. i really started to think how much people really cared for me and who my friends really were. then i started to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel what a better life was and is.

It is only little, but I have added a Facebook application that gives me a new word every day on my page. I look, read and repeat that word, every day learning something new. It’s really good! I also signed up for two word of the day emails, which I’m hoping will be just as good.

My vocabulary and grammar is pretty good but you know what they say, “there’s always room for improvement”. I would like to increase my vocabulary by learning 5-20 new words per day. This is part of a larger goal to prepare to take my GRE which I hope to take sometime next year.

How you can clean up your language when a man you adore thinks it’s trashy. Thank heavens!

I’ve been making sure I look up words I’m not certain I know the definition of. The web makes it really easy to do that, since I’m sat at a computer most of the day.

I also have a desk calendar that has a new word each day, but the words there are either obvious to me, or far too obscure to be useful: not much in the middle ground!

I think this is kind of a lifelong process, so I’m just going to get crazy and call it a day on this goal.
That being said … I feel like I should have used more big and impressive words in this last entry.

Multifarious! Brouhaha! Loquacious!

i don’t know what to do for this one?

I’m gonna be a junior, so I need to up my vocab for the S.A.T.s. I want to beast it, so I only need to do it once!

I have to stop saying dude, as well.
