Amelioration

It's been ages. Seems like that's almost always the case. But I promise to be better. Even if I'm the only one reading these.

On that note, I've officially converted to the world of mobile blogging--mobile everything, really. With my schedule lately, it's the only way I'm getting anything done.

Currently, I happen to be listening to a discussion on the events and attitudes of the post-war (World War II, that is) order in American History, a class that has surprisingly gained my favor. General Education, I've found, does have its value. My professor, Dr. Madsen, is a genius. Not in the sense of the word that most would assume, though. Let's just say I have a really hard time not believing everything that comes out of his mouth. It also helps that he possesses a knack for comedic wit and, without fail, increases my vocabulary in every single class period. No, it's not a crush.

The word of the day?

a·me·lio·rate /əˈmēlyəˌrāt/
Verb: Make (something bad or unsatisfactory) better.

Taking a positive spin on things. Fun to say, and in general a great way to go about life. So the word of the day has now become the goal of the week: amelioration.
