A mission.
Thursday, November 6th, 2008I used to read a lot in my early years. In school, at the University. Not only textbooks, but any sort of reading material I could get my hands on. Yet, nowadays I find myself reading lesser and lesser. Due to my not reading much for such a long time, my vocabulary had shrunk or rather, has not expanded. Even though I didn’t totally abandon the activity of reading, I simply did not look up words in the dictionary as much as I should.
Now that it hit me,I find it a little disturbing that I do not know a lot of words. I tend to use the same words over and over more that I would like to. So, as of now, my mission is to increase my vocabulary as much as I can.
I am feeling like I am back to school. With my dictionaries and notepads. Jotting down any new words and expressions I heard or read somewhere to look them up later when I get the chance.
I also have the feeling of uncertainty. Unsure of my own capabilities. I suppose I shouldn’t take this overly serious and instead enjoy the learning process. And have fun reading.
