So, due to the weather, the power went out in several areas in DC, including Tenley campus. Reading this, you might think it was terrible. Let me tell you, it wasn't. The building had backup generators, so we did have LIMITED power. Once again, coming from Miami, I'm used to this. It happens all the time. We have these things called HURRICANES, and these HURRICANES often cause the power to go out for several days at a time.
When the power goes out in Florida (and apparently in DC too), everyone goes out and just talks to each other. As weird as it sounds, its a great bonding experience because you get to know and spend time with everyone else in the Washington Semester Program.
Remember, I said it wasn't that bad. For those that weren't from a place that usually loses power, people really enjoyed themselves. It was a great time to meet and fraternize with your neighbors and building-mates. The first thing that EVERYONE did when the power went out was run out and play in the snow. This wasn't only the people from Florida and Texas that aren't usually used to snow, EVERYONE went out (even the people from Greenbay, Wisconsin. Boy is it cold there!). Later on, once everyone got tired of the snow, we all gathered in the building's lounge where we talked, danced, and did all sorts of crazy fun things!
Lets compare what I'm used to:
Washington, DC. (yesterday)
All in all it was a fun night. Here's a pic of everyone with our "masterpiece". This is impossible in Florida, so its a great experience!
I'll go ahead and close off with this video of the shenanigans:
