I realize that only two blogs ago I said that I was back to blogging, and only wrote one blog after that, and both of those blogs were in the summer. I am not in to new year resolutions because a "new year resolution" connotates that the resolution will most likely end only after a month or so. I don't buy into new year resolutions. I am all about living a better life, whether it is a healthier, happier, more meaningful life, etc. Blogging isn't a new year resolution. It is a way to help me grow in faith, contemplation, and VOCABULARY!
Vocab? Really? I must be nuts! There is a reason to this madness. You see, I have to retake the GRE. After spending countless hours studying for the GRE that I took in the summer, I told myself that no matter what score I received I would not take it ever again. Studying was that bad! I scored very well on the math section but not so hot on the vocab section, and I spent WAY more time studying for vocab. However, I will be retaking the GRE sometime this semester to get that score up despite the fact that I refused to ever take it again. God, how sneaky He can be. Blogging is now a tool I am using to help me with my vocab. I figure that since I have the semester off from any intellectual activity, i.e. no school, I better do something to keep my mind fresh. Therefore, I plan on reading and blogging to keep new words flowing through my brain. Aren't you all so lucky to read the fruits of my study tool! Ha!
As I was "studying vocabulary" (reading a book) tonight, I came across a few words that I needed to look up. Here's one for you:
AUDACITY - boldness or daring.
I believe that I have the audacity to retake the GRE, kick it in the face, and have the goal to receive a Ph.D. in counseling psychology. Audacity. Yeah, I like that word. And let me tell you, once this GRE is over, I will be in a state of euphoria... happiness. Yep, another vocab word.
Thanks for helping me become an intellectual!
