Fill my mind with knowledge - whether it stays in there is another story

You'd be pleased to know I'm being a very good girl. I've been doing my management essay (wooo!!) <-- I think I was being so sarcastic to the point that I can't actually tell whether that was a sarcastic comment anymore...

Nonetheless, in simply words: words are not my forte. I'm running out of words. I keep using the word 'consider'. Consider this, consider that. (Words like 'however' and 'therefore' are words you'd find at least once in every paragraph in my essays T_T)

So I decided to go on thesaurus.com (crap website really, but nevertheless, it was my source of words during GCSE and AS English). I thesaurused (yes, I'm aware that's not a word) the word 'consider'. Of course, nothing useful came up. If there was another good word out there that could replace the word 'consider' I would have used it already.

Then something caught my eye... on the right hand side, they had this little box which said: "Today's word picks on Dictionary.com". They had four words: qiviut, couture, truculent and selcouth. Mind, when I typed 'selcouth', a little red squiggly line appeared beneath it o_O

I clicked on each word, read the definition and chose my favourite. So today, I'm going to share the word: truculent.
