What a Day

It's been quite an eventful day, and it's only 12!
       I woke up to my phone ringing this morning at 7:30.  Confused, I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was one of my fellow softball freshmen who lives in my building.  I answered the phone, and our conversation went something like this:
Me: Hello?
Clara: Hi, can I use your phone?
Me: What.
Clara: The power is out, the power box thing exploded this morning.  This means we have no internet.  I need a smartphone to check my email to see if classes are cancelled.
What a wake up call THAT was.
During this time my roommate, Ali woke up, and proceeded to check her email from her phone.  An email from DPS, our public safety people, sent at 2:50am, advises us to "stay in our buildings, as it is severely icy, but classes are not cancelled".  The email after that says the college is on a 2 hour delay, but classes will happen as scheduled.  Still confused, a girl in my hallway called DPS and was told that all classes would be delayed by 2 hours.
MEANWHILE, a friend of mine who has the same 8:30 class that I do, went to class on time, and the professor was there, and they had class as per usual.
Frustrated and unable to check my email for further updates, I tried to sleep for a little while longer.  It didn't go very well.
I woke up at 10 and found someone with internet, and saw that my french teacher emailed us.  Her email said something along the lines of "I'm not going to class, but you are!".  We had class with the TA and then for extra credit had to go make crepes.
In the end, it turns out that DPS was wrong, and that classes are never cancelled due to weather related events.  Our power and internet are now back.  I'm eating lunch.
The end.
Oh, and I have a 10 to midnight softball practice tonight.  What a life!
