Summer time is fast approaching here in my beloved country. The heat, the unbearable heat will continue to last for days and weeks. Some people may enjoy summer but never me. I would never find the appeal of those hot scorching sand and warm waters. Personally, Despite hating the idea of summer, I will try to develop an irenic relationship with it. I will not to be feckless in my summer internship. I'll try not making fulsome compliments to my colleagues and my superiors and will try to develop a cordial relationship to people that I do not know.
For me, summer is the time to undertake a new project. The ambitious me would like to accomplish the following tasks this summer: 1) create a romance manuscript for the Precious Hearts Romance Books; 2) Try taking crossword puzzles as a possible hobby; 3) Finish reading my long bought Anna Karenina book; 4) Finish my Durarara story and try starting a Klaine fic; 5) Learn a new language; 6) Learn a new instrument.
Who knows? I might accomplish this partial list of summer projects. I condemn this internship for I would have really like to go home to my hometown. Nevertheless, sacrifices should be made for the greater good.
*Note: I would try to incorporate into my posts the new words I have learned from vocabulary.com.
Word list:
1)
irenic -
describes something that is peaceful
The word irenic is from the Greek word eirēnē, which means
peace. Eirene was the Greek goddess of peace. She was one of the Horae,
or Hours, and she also represented the season of spring, so she is
often depicted holding a full cornucopia. Today, the adjective irenic still maintains its peaceful meaning, and governments are continuously searching for irenic solutions to world problems.
2)
feckless -
irresponsible and incompetent
Did you know that most varieties of English are in fact “feck”-less? They don’t contain a word feck, only the negative counterpart feckless. The “feck” in feckless began as a short form of effect used in the Scots dialect. So feckless
essentially means "ineffective," but is also used to describe someone
who is irresponsible, incompetent, inept, or without purpose in life.
3)
fulsome -
exaggerated and usually insincere
Hundreds of years ago fulsome used to mean
"abundant," but now it's more often used to describe an ingratiating
manner or an excess of flattery that might provoke an onlooker to mime
gagging. If you find fulsome to be a rather clunky word, there are several fun (if vaguely stomach-churning) synonyms, including buttery, oily, oleaginous, and smarmy.
4) cordial - friendly and sincere
In Middle English, this adjective meant "of the heart," borrowed from Medieval Latin cordiālis, from Latin cor "heart." This core sense of "heart" can be seen in the synonyms heartfelt and hearty. The noun cordial originally referred to a medicine or drink that stimulates the heart, but its current sense is "a liqueur."
