Volcano update

You can imagine that the talk of the region is the eruption of Merapi. Laura and I went up on the roof the library on campus this morning, after our language class, to get a peek of the mountain, but it was mostly shrouded in clouds. Twenty-five people were killed so far, but the release of pressure is a lot more gradual than they initially predicted (with aforementioned God caveat). They still don't know if the worst is yet to come, but even if the mountain does explode in furious fashion, the worst we're likely to get is a bad ash cloud.
