Basically, I'm sitting next to Lloyd right now and he just said he was glad that nobody posted on the blog yet. So, I decided to post something to spite him. I'll keep it short, sweet, and helpful. While I was reading for this class I found myself struck with the feeling of near-insight. I would read something and it would almost make sense but then the author would skip off to another concept leaving me bereft. (Yeaaaah, look at me using some vocab)
Anyway, this happened a lot to me and to my mother who I subjected to the reading as well. (Misery loves company) We came up with the word antepiphany. Logically, we should have made it hyphenated, ante-epiphany, but that doesn't roll out of the mouth as smoothly.
This is our word for that unsure feeling. When you know you understand it but you also know you haven't fully grasped the concept at least not enough to explain it to someone.
I look forward to suffering from multiple antepiphanies with you all! (Now that just sounds like a severe illness...of the butt.)
