I love this cool site. I have always wanted to learn to speak Japanese ever since I was a child. But in those days, we didnt have things like youtube or the internet to learn a new language. We had to learn from either taking a class or by learning from someone in another country, which was really hard. I would like to learn something other than Spanish, that I already know a little bit.
This site is really cool, I cant get enough of hearing those songs and playing them over again and again. I would like to get a copy of them if I can from youtube. Its a cool way to learn. I have learned quite a bit, can even sing "Mary had a little lamb" in Japanese. This is actually the best website on languages that I have ever visited. For the past few days I have been spending a lot of time on here and its really fun.
Learning a new language is exciting!

the mystery of wolfmtnlady
Wolfmtnlady has come back, only this time, she signed in as Love Wolves & Nature. It was courer de bois that figured out that secret. I can tell you, he is very observant of who gets on the Y-net forum by the way they comment about wildlife in other states, and yet she doesnt bash her own. And she still gets on here acting so high and mighty like she knows everything. I think it was only a matter of time before ANYONE would find out.

Congratulations Stacy!!
It is finally here. My friend on Facebook that had been pregnant for some time, finally had her baby this morning. All her friends and relatives are celebrating the baby's new arrival. We are hoping for more pics of the baby soon. She had a baby girl they named Loretta Rose, or Retta Rose is what she calls it. I am so happy for her. Congrats Stacy LaSalle!!
I am hoping for the best for her and Retta. She is going to be handfull when she gets older. Maybe someday, I would actually meet my friends in person while I'm in Bozeman. They go to the Y-net reunion every year at the park. One day I will attend. Cool!!

computer viruses
I hate computer viruses with a passion. Since last Friday or Saturday some dumb virus kept dominating my computer and blocking out everything I tried to open. Its still dominating my computer, but I have to open it up several times just to get it to go away. Its a program called Personal Security believed to be an antivirus popup that is now taking over all the computer systems now. Other people have been plagued by this same virus too, all at the same time, so there must be a chain going on. Anyway, it will block all your files, programs, and the internet unless you buy this product, which is stupid. Its most likely if you buy it, the hackers steal your personal information, including your credit card numbers. For days, I have not been on the internet and it has been boring without it.
I am going to backup this computer and hope it goes away. I never want to see this crap happening again. Getting rid of viruses is a pain in the butt.

nursing or not
Oh boy! the challenges I am going through. I thought I wanted to major in nursing. It just seems so cool to become a nurse and I had big plans for my family. But lastnite I really got to thinking, "is nursing REALLY for me?" Can I actually become a nurse and get a job? How well will I do in clinicals?
First of all, I am disabled, and it is known that most people frown on that. I have heard stories where some nurses had to hide their disability from their employers just to get a nursing position. The problem with that is that in some people its more evident and their employers find out eventually. By law it is illegal to let employees go on the basis of their race, disability, or background. But I think in nursing, a nurse with disabilities may not be able to perform certain aspects of the job and they often get fired. I do believe it is unfair, but thats society and the way it thinks. Plus employers are usually not trained to provide accommodations for those who do have disabilities and many of them do not want to go through all the trouble of getting accommodations. Its sad.
IMO, clinicals may be very hard for me. You have to be able to make decisions very quickly. That is the biggest weakness of all. I can make decisions, but not in that short of time. I have to be able to think, but in a matter of life and death, thats not good and I dont want anybody to die because of me. That will make me drop out of the nursing trade once and for all.
Second of all, you have to be a people person. You have to know how to talk to them. And even if you are trying to be nice to the patient, they may take that offensively. I am not sure how to handle that. It is just best that if you are not a people person, nursing is not the best profession for you.
So I have been kicking around a bit and I decided to major in microbiology and become a lab technician at a hospital. I have always been fascinated with germs and how they cause diseases. It would be so cool. I'm still going to Bozeman. The 4-year schools in this state are always located in high crime communities much like they are in California. I feel safer in Montana, much like it is here, but without the ocean.
So thats my plan. I love nursing, but it may not be for me, plus I hate the site of red stuff and people throwing up makes me sick. I have a weak belly. Microbiology is the way to go. Maybe one day, I will come up with a more affective way to cure cancer, who knows.

Activity at Yellowstone
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.
