My laundry, it is mildewing, I fear

I returned home from class today and immediately put a load of laundry into the wash. At 5:25, when I went to dry it, the lights flickered and died. Black out for the WHOLE apartment complex, though the one right beside mine had merrily glowing lamps.

So, with my laptop about to die, my eyes tearing from the lack of light, my Spanish homework still to be done, and a poetry paper due tomorrow, I headed back to school. Now I fear only for the fate of my damp laundry and the food in the freezer. My roommate and I have so much frozen meat and (my) Christmas mashed potatoes still in there!

I just hope that the power will have returned by the time I return home.
