Ok, I know I’ve been slacking. You’ve told me. But trust me, I’ve been productive. I’ve been studying a lot, working, living life, etc. I want to take a bit and reflect on my Valentine’s Day. It was the best I’ve had. I remember passing around paper valentines in elementary school. It was almost mandatory.Continue reading “Valentine’s Day”

Academic
I might be over my I-don’t-care-about-my-blog stage. I might not. The thing is, I kind of gave up on Word of the Day. It hasn’t ended, but perhaps it’s on a hiatus. I’ve been spending a lot time reading and stuff. Cool, right? I’m being academic. Remember my goal about being managing my time better?Continue reading “Academic”
What I didn’t publish
I wrote an editorial in Friday’s BV. Here it is. I prepared for this post by writing this word of the day. Here’s what I didn’t publish in my op/ed. The lead story, however, lacked research and was biased. There were only two interviews – one from The Intrepid creator Tony Lee and theContinue reading “What I didn’t publish”
Internship
I’ve had a cold since Wednesday night and I’m ready for it to be done. My throats itches, my nose is stuffy and my head aches. I didn’t post last night, but I watched movies and played Boggle. By playing the game, I got a few words to use (aka I make up words andContinue reading “Internship”
Word of the Day: homograph
HOMOGRAPH Why didn’t I learn this term in high school? We learned everything from ‘synonym’ to ‘onomatopoeia’ but not ‘homograph.’ When Dictionary.com posted it as their word of the day on Jan. 23, I shrugged it off. Why explore this word? Doesn’t everyone know this? Little did I know that ‘homograph’ is a subcategory ofContinue reading “Word of the Day: homograph”
Ok, so I lost the PostADay 2011 challenge…
As much as you probably don’t mind that I’ve missed two Words of the Day, I do. I created this blog for myself – motivation for learning. On Friday, Pete and I saw Black Swan, preceded by dinner at Friendly’s. I had such a good time. The next morning, I had a realization like someoneContinue reading “Ok, so I lost the PostADay 2011 challenge…”
My resolutions for the new year
This might surprise you, but this might be the first time I’ve ever made a list of resolutions. Usually at this time of year, people give up resolutions, saying they never follow them anyway. Having my goals written down always benefits me, so here I go! 1. Cook – Jes and I have been cookingContinue reading “My resolutions for the new year”
Word of the day: simpatico
SIMPATICO Ok, so I remembered the word I wanted to write about yesterday. It’s this one! Although I spelled it ‘sympatico’ in my mind, I found a definition when I spelled it that way. Dictionary.com corrected my spelling. Sympatico was the name of an Internet company in Canada, now called Bell. I don’t know whyContinue reading “Word of the day: simpatico”
Word of the day: expatriate
EXPATRIATE This word of the day is more for spelling than definition. It’s a tricky one because it’s easy to get confused with ‘patriot’ or just forget the ‘e’ at the end. Anyway, Pete and I watched ‘Casablanca‘ tonight before ‘Dick Clark’s Primetime New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest.’ Rick, played by Humphrey Bogart,Continue reading “Word of the day: expatriate”
An example
I went to Fredonia today with my grandpa and sister. Aimee goes to school there, and we went to the bookstore to exchange a T-shirt we bought him for Christmas. While we were there, we went to a little pizzeria called De John’s, in which I found many examples of yesterday’s word of the day:Continue reading “An example”
