New/Oldish Feauture Makes an Appeareance

Remember Word of the Week feature I had up on the blog?

No?

Not surprising because I only did it once.

But the whole point of it was to learn new vocabulary words that might end up being in the SATs (not looking forward to them).

But instead of having a word every week, I'm going to post words that I did not know when I came across them while reading. And either link to dictionary.com or actually write out the definition myself.

I think this will be more effective for both me and you because that way I’m forced to write down the words and if you plan on reading the book yourself you will know what the word means beforehand (assuming you didn’t already).

I know I just set myself for public humiliation since my vocabulary is very limited and you might laugh at some of the words I needed to look up. =)

Word of the Week

The first word of the week is:

assiduous

(adj.) hard-working, diligent

(The construction workers erected the skyscraper during two years of assiduous labor.)

My sentence:

I hope I will be able to receive a excellent a decent grade in my AP World History assignment, since I been assiduously working on it.

===================================================================

The words is one of thousand words that have been used in the Old SAT (and I came across it when reading a book).

I'm going to post all the letters of the alphabet (A-Z). Once I hit letter "Z" I'm going to start back all over again with letter "A." I hope this helps enhance my and yours (of course) vocabulary. Feel free to create your on sentences, I would love to read them. =)

By the way how's school so far? I'm already up to my neck with AP World History assignments and I'm trying to desperately finish my summer assignment that's due next week, that I haven't completed over the summer, like I was suppose to. But I'm hoping once I get that done I'll have some time to read some of the books I got. Speaking of books I'm going to have a review up the upcoming Friday. Yaay
