Things to do when a typhoon hits, cutting your power, and effectively stranding you in your tiny-ass dorm (not unlike a prison cell, under these circumstances):
- Sleep. (A lot.)
- Clean your room.
- Clean your closet.
- Re-read the readings for that test you would’ve had if classes weren’t cancelled.
- Flip through your textbooks, but not actually study.
- Go over the amount of homework due tomorrow. (Not like you had much anyway.)
- Realize that telling your teacher that “the electricity was out, and I had no light” is a legitimate excuse.
- Gauge how many hours of daylight you have available to do “fun stuff” before you’re forced to sit in the dark.
- Exercise. Do push-ups, sit-ups, tricep dips, and squats.
- Realize that that’s practically a full-body workout, and that you’re amazed you can even do that with the amount of floor in your room.
- Clean your room again.
- Take notice of the rapidly darkening sky.
- Think about the brandy in your closet. Consider drinking about half of it, so you don’t have to suffer the boredom that’ll come when the sunlight is gone.
- Take inventory of your food stocks.
- Eat about a quarter of your food stocks.
- Think about the brandy again.
- Decide against it because the food you ate will just soak it all up and it’ll ‘go to waste’.
- Sleep again.
- Hopefully wake up, and there’s power.
- If not, get mad at yourself, because the power is still off, and now you’re wide awake, having slept for 12 hours today.
Luckily, I woke up, and there was power. So yay. :D
