Ok let's hear the story. I had a similar teacher experience, even had the dual teacher thing, but it was not as bad. Although she ended up having a major seizure in the middle of class which was pretty upsetting for us, but obviously that had nothing to do with how she was treating me.

    In a situation where you don't have constant access to abundant electricity, you would naturally reduce your use of electronics quite a bit. An e-reader battery lasts a long time, so load it up with a bunch of good and useful books and that panel will be able to power it indefinitely. Winter is tricky, still it would probably be enough to keep it going with sparse use. Or you could rig up a bike-alternator-car battery set up. But you need to think about how much power you can reasonably generate and base your planned consumption off of that. This makes me sound like a big prepper, I'm not, but I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Wonder why...

    I was just thinking about that series. I read the first three I think when it first came out. I saw someone talk about how they reread it and decided it wasn't as good at they thought it was when they first read it. But I've always thought I might still give it another go, mostly for nostalgias sake. Is this your first read through. Is it a concluded series?
