Power Outage

2 a.m. Monday morning my power went out and was not restored til 11:30 p.m. It was bad. I ate fast food because I couldn't open my fridge or freezer, and spent nearly $15 of my precious money on candles. I was miserable.

I got up at 6:45 a.m. today and had a hot shower (couldn't shower on Monday because I have an electric water heater, and I object to hypothermia) then walked to CVS to buy more cough drops, then went to geology class. The prof was worried that I've never taken any geology classes before, but I assured him that I was willing to put in extra work to get up to speed.
He's lent me a textbook to study until I can buy one of my own, and I'll go through that, preferably before Saturday because we have field trips on Saturday and Sunday and I need to know as much as I can before then.

After class I went to the Student Health Care Center, because I've been sick for over a week now and I couldn't take it anymore. I managed to get an immediate appointment and the doctor evaluated me and decided to give me antibiotics because she thinks I'd be at risk for pneumonia if I didn't take something. I waited around for 10 minutes for the pharmacy to reopen, went through their system pretty quickly then walked home, took my first pills, had a quick lunch of microwave biryani and then passed out.

After I woke up I called Mom and Dad and then I started to order my textbooks and geology paraphernalia from Amazon, but then my power shut off AGAIN. I called my electricity company and left a message, and did the same with my landlord before leaving for Target to get some necessities. I got home and the electricity company had left a voicemail with directions on troubleshooting, which thankfully worked. Turns out my "master switch" (downstairs in the alcove with all the apartments' meters) randomly flipped by itself (or some asshole flipped it for fun) and I just had to flip it back, come upstairs, and flip back the little switches (I'd done that before I left) and lo and behold my electricity came back on!

I then had another mini heart attack trying to get my cable and tv working, then finally that worked out, and put some food in the oven. I think it's ready now, so I'll end here.
