a vocabulary word that resonates with me personally

 Out of the vocabulary words in lesson 13, nubile resonated with me the most. I think I have seen the word used before, particularly in fantasy books where they marry some 14 year old girl off to an old lord. I do not like this word, I think it is a gross description. Marriageable age? Just say she's a young woman. "Nubile" feels so objectifying and male-centered. 

Today in class we finished vocabulary lesson 13. These words were more alien to me, I don't think I've heard the majority of them before. Some make sense though, like onus and onerous.

Today in class we finished our one-pager assignments. I'm pretty happy with how mine turned out, it looks pretty accurate to the layout that I had in mind. I did see another student draw a phoenix on their assignment though, and I kinda regret choosing the sun because the phoenix is way cooler.

Especially because I am a more masculine presenting woman who is attracted to other women. Nothing out of the ordinary happened today, but for lunch we were served cheese rippers which are my favorite!
