Not much :?, and my word of the day.

Not much going on for me today. Was supposed to get my after 9's today, but dad and I didn't know the DMV closes at 4:30 thanks to Bev Purdue. So, we're hopefully going tomorrow. He was going to let me miss the beginning of school and take me up there, but I got chosen for the NHS induction and I have to go to meeting at 7:15 in the am. It's all good though. NHS is a great opportunity; dad might sign me out early to go get the after 9's and I'll go back to school after since it takes five seconds.

A shout out to my friend who lives in Romania. He wants to improve on his English, so when we're talking, in exhange for me correcting any mistakes he teaches me Romanian. He's also giving me little mini quizzes to help me retain the info. This is because most of the time I'm signed on yahoo with my phone and I'm unable to write down what he tells me. In the process I'm also improving my skills for retaining information without having to write it down.

Now for the word of the day. It is:
maverick-

1) Southwestern U.S. an unbranded calf, cow, or steer, esp. an unbranded calf that is separated from its mother. (I honestly had no idea this was the literal meaning of the word until I looked it up on http://www.dictionary.com)

2) A lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates.

3) (initial capital letter) an electro-optically guided U.S. air-to-ground tactical missile for destroying tanks and other hardened targets at ranges up to 15 mi. (24 km). (umm..)
