Week 4

I learned two new words this week: Mercurial and Nonchalant
Mercurial is an adjective, used to describe a person or thing that is subject to sudden and unpredictable mood swings, or just unpredictable in its future completely. The adjective can also refer to the Pagan god, Mercury, or the closest planet to the sun, Mercury, or the heavy-metal element, Mercury. The adjective derives its name from a description of the element itself, which is relatively unstable in its existence. My friend's mercurial attitude caused me great pain at times, while in others I laughed harder than ever before.

Nonchalant is another adjective, used to describe a person with a casual, or unconcerned attitude towards his surroundings. Nonchalant describes a person that is very casual and colloquial in speech and appearance. One example might be the kid who's too cool for school, who's unconcerned about how others will treat him for missing class.
