I am in complete agreement with your sentiments, Clay. With the Vonerdculary we strive to improve the vernacular of modern language, for (as we learned in Othello) the deterioration of language signifies the deterioration of thought, and the deterioration of thought leads to people who do not actively pursue improvement in their lives, people who do not ask the important questions and do not seek meaningful answers.

It is acceptable to make grammatical mistakes as long as one strives to vociferate their thoughts to the best of their abilities. With time and practice, good grammar is inevitable. I wish to vociferate today my desire for the important ideas, values, and lessons humankind has learned over the centuries to not be forgotten; that the world, what has passed, what has been thought, and what may be to come be the subject of our thought and discussion.

Now, I rant.

OMG CLAY FRENCH IS KILLING ME. I just spent the past 2 hours writing a 200 word essay for French 122, and I must say that practically all of my french has effectively fled my face. *dead* I hope I get a good mark; I spent AGES flipping through my french 12 binder trying to make sure my grammar was correct @_@ It's been a year and a half since I had to think in proper, complex french, and I'm very worried I won't do well, but I am determined to continue; the language is so beautiful, and I've come thus far already!

On a separate note, today was the first time in 2nd year that I passed out on the bus. Just a little bit. I've been working really hard on my french this week, and yesterday I worked a shift that made it so I arrived home at 8, had dinner, and then spent the next two hours on my french essay, so on the bus from UBC to the Canada line, I just fell asleep and woke up two stops before I needed to get off XD You know when school's really getting started when..... lol soon I'll be back to passing out on the morning commute to school as well XD

I hope Trinity isn't too taxing on you yet.

Chat soon,
Tim

PS - I know I'm the science one, and vernacular isn't really a science-y word, but I felt that our first words should be similar in expressing our hopes for the coming term for this blog. I'm taking a non-vascular plant biology course this term that includes fungi, algae, and mosses, so expect a lot of non-vascular plant vocabulary =P
