Not to mention studying. I studied until 11 last night, probably clinching the fail of my math test in the process. And then I didn't even get picked. It was annoying, but I don't know whether being picked would have been worse.

Hot Seat
Today, I discovered how much I really hate the hot seat. Even though I didn't get picked, I spent the whole time stressing out that I'd get picked, and get a word I didn't know. I kept having this mental image of me getting one of the words I don't know, and everyone just looking at me, staring at me. Or worse, getting a word I knew, and forgetting it, because everyone was staring. I'm getting better than I used to be, but I am still really shy. I'm fine talking to one or two people, even people I've never met before, but being tested in front of the whole class is just scary.

Oh, I know what you mean! I was just praying to not receive some of the new words because they were really hard. The only word that I fully knew was acculturation and nominal. That is so true!
I can imagine Bella saying the same thing in her head. xD
I'm going to take that as a compliment (even though I'm not sure whether it is or not.)
So thanks.
Oh I sound like such a dork for saying this but I like learning new words like this. Like, I like learning them so I can just say what everyone else has said before, only in a different way that makes me sound smarter somehow hehe. I hope to write better by the end of our verbal boot camp, but to those I hear are struggling with it I'd say try using the words...
P.S. Knowing Marissa, that was probably meant as a compliment...
Yeah, I know you like using them. I would, except I'd just make myself sound like an idiot by pronouncing them wrong. >.<
