I have been seeing and reading many posts on Facebook and on the Y-net forum about the many earthquake swarms that have been happening at Yellowstone these past few weeks. Many of them are small in magnitude, but they are happening more frequently than ever before, more than 900 earthquakes in one day. Is this a sign that Yellowstone will blow? Well, we will get to that.
This is the same thing that happened at Mount St. Helens before it went off, but Mount St. Helens is a whole different story than Yellowstone.
Everybody knew that Mount St. Helens was going to blow and the chances were great. Yellowstone on the other hand, the chances of that volcano going off in the near future is about 1 in 10 million.
But then volcanoes are very unpredictable. Many have gone off even without warning that an eruption was going to happen. So Yellowstone will blow. Will it happen in our lifetime? No one can answer that, but to be honest, the chances are not that great.

Happy new year-2010
We have reached yet again another decade, hopefully a better one but I cant look that far into the future. Something always happens that we dont want to happen but does anyway. Its just life. I just hope I live to see the next one.
Well, I just applied for financial aid to attend Bozeman in the fall. I hope I get a full grant for everything, including nonresident fees and dorm room costs. If I want something bad enough, I will work hard for it. I already am by getting my shots updated. I will do everything I can to get as much aid to pay my way through Bozeman. There are scholarships, work study, and even other grants (though I think there more for Montana residents), but whatever I can get, I want to go even if I have to get an after school job. With this much on my mind, I could write a book about how I payed my way through collage. Just pray for me.
If I get it, Great!! If not, well, I havent decided much on what to do if it doesnt happen. Dad wants me to wait until the economy gets better, but with Obama in the office, it may never happen and I'm screwed. It may take years and by then I may be too old to read a book. I am not gonna wait until I am in my 60s to graduate from collage. I will find a way. When there's a will, there's a way. There's gotta be something I havent tried yet.
The only thing that I could do, and I am not longing for this at this time, is to physically move to Bozeman and establish residency. But this is an absolute last resort if all other options I have tried failed. But Timmyfan....what am I going to do about Timmyfan???? She cant move to Bozeman. She had a hard time adjusting to the altitude and dry air. And to be honest, I would much rather apply for a student loan than to let Timmyfan move to Bozeman with me. Thats about as low as I can go. But right now, I want my dorm room. It would be much more fun to live in a dorm anyway. There is usually a lot of activity going on in dorm buildings than there would be like in our own apartment.
But I am trying to change our lives by becoming a nurse, and thats what I am hoping for most of all. Its more important for me to get that collage degree, and whatever move I take, I will do it. This is for us.
