volcano island

We still have two tests and two papers to write, but we went to the island this afternoon after visiting the ICU. It's an island with an active volcano - the reason we have ashes falling in the mainland. It's not really an island anymore because a big eruption that occured 100 years ago sort of bridged the island and the peninsula. The volcano erupted three or four times while we were there. It's actually pretty exciting to hear the sound, but when that happens, a huge gray cloud spreads over the sky and eventually, ashes come falling down like rain. The weather was great and it was almost sunset when we arrived so the sea was beautiful and the whole scenery looked sort of illusory when the thin layer of cloud hid the sun.

It even felt strange that we were at the ICU just an hour before. When we came back on the ferry, we had to go to a party for the seniors who passed the license test. I was actually extremely sleepy and I wanted to go home so I'm just very happy now that I'm finally back home!
