Yesterday the power went out at like 8pm (conveniently just after the sun went all the way down) and stayed out until 1am. So the major problems with this are:
a) Every device that makes my room inhabitable requires power (fan, air con...). I basically sat in a pool of my own sweat for hours (and taking a shower in the dark is really really scary).
b) The mosquitoes have the upper hand because they find you by smell, you can only kill them with the help of light.
c) I had just fallen asleep when suddenly every single electrical thing in my room turned on at once which put me in a little bit of a foggy panic.
So today I was mid- bite into my dinner when the electricity went out and it was absolutely pitch dark. I mean it's better than me being in the pool when the power goes out or being out in the street, but mid bite is just really annoying. It took me a while to find my phone which I used as a light to find my mini-flashlight (which requires that I hold down the button for it to stay on). I realized my best bet was to turn my computer on and eat my dinner by the light of my screen. For those who this happens to in the future, make sure you know a good site with a mostly white background... Now I have 45 minutes of battery left on my computer so I have to be a little strategic (AKA no more blogging).
