Thanksgiving dinner by Candlelight

So for those of you who don’t know Canadian Thanksgiving was the Monday that’s just passed. Of course our school made a turkey dinner for the event. The thing is that Monday was also the day we were hit by the hurricane. At one point the internet went down then the power flickered. At about five minutes before dinner started the power went out completely. Of course the school has  backup generator just in case this happens, but for some reason that wasn’t turning on like it was supposed to so we had to get facilities to fix it. Meanwhile  lot of us were ready to go to dinner (though we had to take the back way in because the doors were locked since we had no power). We have cards that we always use to get itno meal hall so it’s taken  off our meal plan and they had to take the numbers by hand since the system wan’t working. Good thing was that the power only went out a few minutes before supper so it wasn’t ruined. Still for at least half an hour we were eating in the dark by candlelight. It was certainly an experience.
