Goldfinching 

The act of hopping along a line, swivelling your head around and twittering non-sensicle comments to a large audience. Almost tropical in appearance, the Goldfinch can be found scavenging around the edges of fielded areas and is drawn to nuts around pools. The Goldfinch's song is majestic in it's creativity - but one caught in the act of Goldfinching tends to be dismissed as being full of shit.

Goldfishing

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
