Word of the Day

I am so sorry folks that I did not post a word of the day yesterday. I was too tempted to post Friday. Meaning: Rebecca Black's failure. But I would never inflict the pain of that on anyone...

Anyway I thought I'd do a double whammy today since you missed out yesterday. The first is from the wordsmith otherwise known as Dr. Arnold, my Ancient History teacher, the other from Harriet, who is in my Ancient History class. Because classics is, in fact, beyond cool.

Numero Uno:

Cathartic


To do with catharsis.. Catharsis being the purging of emotions or tensions, usually via an art form such as writing or painting.

Sentence example: After every Ancient History lesson Dr. Arnold felt cathartic as his class was filled with too many crazy chatterers.

Numero Dos:

Kismet


Fate or destiny.

Sentence example: It was Harriet's kismet to always do Ancient History forever and ever.
