I think maybe it says something about the school of journalism here that as a senior i'm taking an upper division class called INTRO to professional writing that feels like high school english.
i thought i had gotten away from busy work. I just did a frickin VOCABULARY assignment. I didn't just get to look up definitions--i got to look up definitions, write my own definition, and find a quote using the word. The words were:
Emotions
Feelings
Emoting
Conscious
Subconscious
Self-awareness
Denial
Human Condition
Awareness
MEtaphysical
Intuition
Truth
Suffering
Transcendence
I have a vocabulary word for our professor:
RETARDED:
"characterized by retardation--a slowing down or hindering of progress; a delay."
my definition: stupid, pointless, and needing to be kicked in the head
"People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally retarded." Brick Tamland
