Aww, I am sorry to hear that!
Back in October the electricity at my school went out 2 days in a row! On the first day the electricity went out at like 2 in the afternoon and was back on by 9pm. The following day the power went out at noon and was not turned back on until about 5 in the morning! Luckily, my big sis lives off-campus, so I stayed with her. The dorms were extremely dark, and yeah, I do not own a flash light!
