nothing like a cold bagel with frozen cream cheese!

to start off, I want to say something: this is not a complaint! I am surrounded by people who are complaining about our situation, but in all honesty it's not that bad, especially when you think about situations that other people live in.

The east coast--especially New England area--got bombarded with a one-night blizzard that took out power in multiple towns across Connecticut (my location when the storm hit) and additionally half of the buildings on Nyack Campus. I was at my roommate's house over the weekend and on Saturday night, probably around 5 in the evening, we lost power. It was a crazy night...there was a small fire, lots of smoke, two fire trucks came, I was sick, it was cold, there was no hot food...a night to remember for sure!

We got back to campus last night to find that tree limbs were down, power lines are hanging low to the ground, and one of the girl's dorms has no power while ours has only half power. Thankfully Ellary's and my room has power but no one has heating or hot water. I don't mind the hot water part, it just means I have an excuse to wear the same sweats until everything gets fixed!

There are still classes today, even though some teachers are cancelling anyways. I have a feeling none of my classes will be cancelled, though. And since I believe that, off I go to study...
