Because of the amount of writing that I have had to due for final projects, I have recently realized that I am much more verbose than I thought I was. Three times in the past week I have been writing, and paused because I used a word that I did not know that I knew. I the first instance, I was writing an essay for a scholarship contest and I found myself using the word "efficacy." Not anything too fancy, but I didn't know that I really knew what the word meant. So I referred to our good buddy dictionary.com, and come to see it, I used it properly. This also happened twice tonight. Apparently I can learn vocabulary by osmosis.

I'm going to sleep with a dictionary under my pillow.
