Unfortunately I was over-enthusiastic with this week's vocabulary--giving me an impressively lengthy list of words--but likewise rendering it difficult for me to actually learn them. Therefore, in the future I hope to have no more than four or five new words every week, which I will thusly become much more familiar with.
