I was trying to think of something deep and reflective for this one, but couldn't come up with one. I'm sure I could, but I wanted to do another blog post NOW because I've gotten behind again. Bummer, too, because I was on a roll there for a little while. Anyway, about the photo: I wish I could change my vocabulary. Specifically, I wish I could expand it. I may be in grad school, but I have to resort to Thesaurus.com constantly when writing papers to make myself sound smarter and more worthy of grad school. I consider myself a good writer; I use nice transitions, know my grammar, make the papers flow well, and know APA style like the back of my hand (almost)...but if it weren't for the invention of the thesaurus, I would be using much simpler vocabulary and my papers would be far less impressive. Also related, there are a lot of words that I've seen written, but am unsure if I've ever heard them out loud, or at least I can't remember. This results in my using them with incorrect pronunciation rather often, and then people laugh at me. Rude! I've heard before that if you read one page of a dictionary every day, you'd be super smart. Maybe I should try that...
