Wall sockets not working?

    Hey everyone.

    So today I noticed my laptop wasn't charging, and I checked and it was plugged in; then I realized nothing that I had plugged in was working at all. My lights and heater are working so I have power. Anyone know what's going on? Yes, the switches are turned on.

    I'm just a stupid American studying abroad here so maybe there's an obvious answer? I'm in Glenomena if that helps.

    Make sure you are using correct adaptors for any equipment you brought over from US -this could trip the sockets. Can be a sign of something faulty also, so if it happens more, get it checked out
