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
