First Ten Things...
to do when you experience a power outage:
1- scream out in rage! (well... or happiness depending on what you were currently doing)
2- scramble for a manually chargeable flashlight, but you can't find it, so you go look for your battery devouring flashlight to find your manually chargeable flashlight, and sing in joy when you find it, but discover that it has not yet been charged
3- charge your flashlight
4- call Hydro-Quebec and find out what on earth is happening, and perhaps hoping you can yell at them
5- find candles hidden somewhere in your cupboards, and light them up
6- ask to see if dinner has already been prepared....or will you have to be chewing on dry bread
7- have a romantic and freezing candlelight dinner...don't forget to comment on how freaking romantic it is!
8- lie on the floor and refuse to do anything because you have no electricity
9- keep calling Hydro-Quebec, because you figure that if you call them enough, they'll get annoyed and fix the problem faster, eventhough it's really just an answering machine that you're communicating with
10- sleep
Top Ten...
Things to do when you experience a power outage during exam period (or well... whenever, it doesn't really matter):
1- keep studying by shining a small light onto your page full of itty bitty tiny little letters until your eyes drop out
2- dance around the fire (well.. the candle)
3- turn on your mp3 player and sing very loudly along with all the songs, even if you don't know the words, you can always just make up your own
4- play board games...for example, scrabble
5- attempt to warm up your food by roasting it over the candle...only if we had marshmallows! yum!!
6- make paper snowflakes...and comment on how very festive you're being
7- act out your favorite movie
8- learn how to slow dance....because it's so romantic....??
9- tell stories while shining the flashlight on your face
10- nap

You had a power outage!!? C'est triste! I knew you would study by candle light! You're just that persistent! I hope the darkness didn't offend your eyes too much! I can't wait til I graduate so I can make enough money to perhaps buy you a solar panel to charge up your batteries in case of power outages! Bonne Chance avec le study!
haha! did u delete ur comment?
but no... i only studied a LITTLE bit, then i gave up, we were out of electricity for about 5 hrs, sometimes i like these power outages, makes me appreciate the peacefulness, the tranquility, the darkness etc more, and it gives me time to think and stuff too! 'course, i prefer not to have such experiences during exam periods haha!
i'll be waiting for that solar panel!!
