First Time for Everything

I learned a new word today (not uncommon). From a student (exceedingly rare, perhaps even unique). In an essay (practically unimaginable)! Granted, she used it as an example of a word-of-the-day, but still:

abulia: the inability to make decisions

Yes, my friends, you who have seen me debate over a menu selection know why I loved it. I'm shelving it next to another longtime favorite:

velleity: a desire to do something that is not strong enough to inspire action

Either of these would have made good titles for my blog.
