Hopefully this doesn't come true

Yesterday, during school, the administration decided we would operate this week on a compressed schedule, meaning that we would star and hour later each morning, and end classes at about the same time.  It has been so cold in the mornings, that the classrooms have not had a chance to warm up before people get here.  (I think yesterday it was -14 C in the morning)  The radiators were on, but they just were not projecting any heat.  On top of trying to heat up the buildings after they had been cold since Wednesday, it was cold enough all day to the point of when you walked outside, you lost your breath and the hairs in your nostrils would freeze.  It was borderline to being too cold... 

I was just highly amused this morning when I awoke this morning and while I attempted to piece together the various dreams of the evening, I remembered one (which I never do, so I thought it was amusing).  I had a dream that Russia refused to turn the heat back on in Bulgaria until people moved from their houses and into these row houses. The row houses are everywhere, a lot of them built in communism, and still existing in a dilapidated state.  Russia wanted to be able to control exactly who could receive heat and who couldn't and apparently they could do that if we all lived in these apartment buildings.  The school made us move too, out of our nice, toasty warm apartments and houses.... so, I am hoping that plan doesn't actually come to fruition...
