It's the beginning of midterm week. This is synonymous with lots of work, all-nighters, plenty of junk food, and just a general atmosphere of craziness.
So tonight everyone was buckling down for a long night when a storm suddenly comes in. There was pretty intense lightning and thunder for about 2 minutes. And then the power went out. From what we could see, it was out all over downtown.
If people were working down in the labs and didn't save their stuff, they lost their work. If you needed to actually do work that required light, too bad. Needless to say, people were not happy. Personally, I didn't have too much work to do this evening, so I was pretty content to just be with my friends out in the dark. I did need the power back on soon because, as exciting as the outage was, I had just been running and needed to shower (can't do that in pitch black) and also needed to do laundry. Bad. As in I may or may not have had only 1 pair of clean undergarments left.
Someone told me in fall quarter that they just went out to buy more underwear instead of doing laundry. I thought that was just lazy, but I will never judge so foolishly again. That idea sounds less and less ridiculous everyday.
Anywho, the power came back on within an hour and I was able to shower and am currently doing laundry. It is far too hot in this laundry room. I fear I may pass out.
Only 19 minutes left to dry. I think I'll survive. If there is no post tomorrow, you'll know that the heat was far too much for me. I would appreciate it if you would send help. I'll be lying on the floor of laundry room #2. Just a quick dousing of cool water should do the trick.
