How can we finish our college career without the infamous campus black-out together? Yesterday, it happened, and it lasted for over 9 hours.
Each year, each student experiences at least 1 black out. Yesterday, there was all kinds of warnings - coastal flood, heavy wind (30-50 mph), heavy rain, flood, etc. And, what happened? A black out before we showered, cooked, or ate.
It was 9 pm. Rob has a test the next day at 8 pm, and he had yet to start studying. After we cooked and ate on the other side of the campus where there was power, it was already 12 am. Power outage usually lasts for 2 hours. However, it was 3 hours, and still no power. Fortunately, we had a dozen of tea light candles. (Thanks to Cori~)
After studying an hour or two at the hallway with the emergency light, I HAD to sleep before waking up for work the next day at 8:30am. Rob returned to the room and attempted to study in the room. He used the illumination from my laptop, which lasted no more than 3 hours.
At around 6 am, I was half awake from my sleep - Rob had finished studying for the day. Not to mention, we spent a long time debating where to study, when to sleep, and how to study. After reading 3 chapters of 5 or some chapters, he blew out the candles. And, what happened? At the instant the room became pitch dark, the power came back on.
Poor guy!
