April Fools Joke...jaja

So yesterday, April 1st, the power company decided to play a terrible joke on the neighborhood and cut off the power for several hours. I was out with my dad and bro all day but when we arrived back to the house we saw people making fires in the middle of the street, protesting (of course) the lack of electricity. It is so true that you don't realize how dependent you are on something until you loose it. I couldn't use the computer to check my dad and bros' flight and we had to use flashlights to light the room while they packed. On top of that, I was a bit concerned about my food in the fridge. At first I didn't really know what to do without power (poor spoiled child of the technology generation, right?) but then I was able to adapt. After I saw my dad and bro to the airport I took a shower and washed my hair by candle light. It was quite relaxing. Then my housemates invited me to come with them to see a movie at the nearby movie theater. When we got there we saw that our movie didn't start for another hour and a half so we returned home to play Sorry until then. Five minutes after we arrive home the lights came back on, spoiling the thrill we expected to get from playing Sorry via candle light. I was beginning to enjoy the momentary power outage. It was a nice change of pace. Nevertheless, I know the rest of the people in the neighborhood probably didn't share my sentiments and were happy when the electricity came on.
