Just sitting in the dark...
Apr. 16th, 2007 03:16 pmWell, I woke up this morning, got to uni an hour early because I misread my timetable. *facepalm* The tute I went to though was fantastic and I understand what I was saying I didn't yesterday.
There was a burst pipe in the West Wing of the 5th floor in the Menzies (a huge building that is 11 stories high), thus all the West Wings of the floors below were closed due to flooding.
Then, at 12 o'clock, Joseph, Tegan and I caught an elevator down from the 8th floor, where Joe decided to press all the buttons and whenever the elevator stopped, he'd hold the "Open Doors" button down for a bit to annoy me. After we got out of the elevator, there was a power outage. Cue us being relieved that we did manage to get out of the elevator in time. Initially, we just thought it was in the Menzies because of the leak and the fact the escalators had been turned off previously, but nope.
We walked to the Campus Centre, and inside it is black, no lights and people are still sitting around eating and trying to buy food in the dark (only at Monash would that happen).
Power outage for the whole campus. So both all my lectures were cancelled, it gets better though, because we had to wait around until the starting time of each lecture to make sure it was actually cancelled and that the power didn't come back on again, in time. I called my mum, who works about five minutes away to see if they have power. It's not just the university, it's the whole suburb (and possibly further, but I don't know).
So, how goes uni life for everyone else? As interesting?
EDIT:
CLAYTON CAMPUS IS CLOSED, TUESDAY APRIL 17th.
