New Word

So I decided to get a blog, kind of on a random whim. I'm not very technologically savvy, and my life leaves much to be desired in regard to interesting content that I want to share with a large cyber-community. Be that as it may, I do like to write about things (which may stem from the fact that I am an English Major). Anyway, to the meat of what I really wanted to write about: The other day in a class that I tutor in we learned a new word. It was Rhinotillexomania-defined as the compulsive picking of the nose.
Now, maybe it was just our class...or this could possibly be indicative of a wider college culture, but we all thought the word thoroughly hilarious. I vowed that the next time I came to class I would ask one of the other tutors how they were progressing with the control of their Rhinotillexomania...to which she replied, the next class period when I really did ask her, that she was mainly trying to take care of it while at home so that she would not have to embarrass herself in public. She then turned the question to me, to which I replied that I had been picking at the problem here and there but had made no real progress... The jokes that came of this were quite plentiful and it just kind of went down hill from there...
