After a nice productive day of school, do you know what I did with my first free 30 minutes?
Well... I pulled out my ginormous, very own, thrifted, $3, lovely Unabridged Dictionary. :) And then I grabbed a list of words. A list of words that I don't know, which I keep in the current biography I'm reading. And I looked up their definitions, imagined how I'd put them into sentences, and wrote them down in my journal. Of course I won't use many of them every day, but maybe they'll at least come in handy on the SAT. :)
Here are a few for you:
obfuscate -- to confuse, bewilder, or stupefy
recalcitrant-- resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant; refractory
solicitous-- anxious or concerned; anxiously desirous; eager; careful or particular
That was your nerd moment of the day. Now use one of these today and make me proud. :)
