Dear Dad,

The next time you get the urge to tempt fate and make some joke about "It may be 20 degrees below freezing in Philadelphia with a windchill well below zero, but at least you have power and heating and a connection to the internet and working elevators that ensure you don't have to climb 17 flights of stairs!", don't.

Love,
Priscilla

Not sure if it's back now, as I've been in class the last hour and a half, but from around 2:15 to the time I left for class (around 4:20), we had nothing. And my laundry had 10 minutes to go when the power went out, so some of my clothes were still slightly damp. RRRGH, the world seeks to spite me at every turn.
