Why I took a class about volcanoes
At the beginning of the year I searched the UW Timetable for hours looking for the perfect one credit class to take. Did it matter? No. Not at all.
I saw "Volcanoes and Civilization" and it piqued my interest. Why? Well, because after December 2011 whenever anyone , for the rest of my life, asked a question about--or had conversations about--volcanoes, I would be able to chime in with more information than they ever cared to know. It would be hilarious.
After much, much thinking about which class to take--okay, after someone told me Volcanoes was only 8 weeks long and not 15--I signed up. It's been a battle, but come Thursday, the battle will be over.
Anywho, the point of this post: My theory proved correct this week. I received a call from a good friend, Ellen on Tuesday morning. She said, "Jane, what's a 6 letter word for volcanic rock." To which I exclaimed, "BASALT!" Oh, I was so happy. Who'da thought that some shallow, low-pressured formed volcanic rock could make my day.
Here's to hoping for many, many more volcano convos!
St. Agatha, patron Saint of volcanoes, pray for us!
