Day 2 - Part 4: "When Did It Rain?"

Discovery of the day: Deaf people can't hear thunderstorms. I honestly have no idea why this is so surprising to me. I left the library at about 8:00, only to discover that campus was flooded. Judging by the many Facebook posts of people from the Philly area and the texts I received in the past 30 minutes, there was quite a storm going on while I was engrossed in my stack of books about Plautine comedy and Roman gender-sociological standards. While I was surrounded by silence in the library [for all my fellow Doctor Who fans: Don't worry, I counted the shadows], a storm that must have been somewhat similar to my own personal imaginings of the apocalypse was happening on the other side of the wall. Not an everyday thing that I thought would come to my attention. But alas, this experience never stops surprising me.
