Ameliorated
-is a word which means improving or improved over time. For example, the chocolate I ate ameliorated my weary mind. The group of little kids I just played with ameliorated my weary nerves. The sleep I will soon partake will ameliorate my weary weariness.
Ameliorate. What will ameliorate my homesickness? Ah ah ah! Before you say going home, consider the implications. I’ll have to come back. And then… ah, I see you are beginning to understand. Then, I’ll be even more homesick than before!
If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. The only amelioration I’ll get is when I reserve myself to live apart from home. Indigenous life is, after all, what separates me from those afore-mentioned little kids.
Hey! This post just ameliorated me!

Life in EFAWR country goes good. I enjoy C at the moment, since nothing has gone wrong (yet, touch wood) in two weeks of learning.

We haven’t learnt those if thingies yet. Just at those sort of conversions and sums and counting and stuff.
So I haven’t got any real big messy errors yet. The EFAWR is happy.
