Word of the Day

Since I am a self professed word nerd and love doing words of the day I thought my blog should have one. Last night I decided that the word Machinations would be a fun one but was too tired to come up with a sentence for it last night. Well I was reading a review on publisher's weekly and believe it or not, there was my word.

Machinations

1. The act of plotting.
2. A crafty scheme or cunning design for the accomplishment of a sinister end.

As three high-school seniors struggle with their senior-year schedules, family responsibilities, and future dreams, the machinations of their parents and the actions of a frazzled admissions officer affect the kids far more than they know or would admit if they did.
