Last final this semester

Is now over. I believe I passed, so I won't bring any books home over the summer. Only two weeks until I know the results, though.

I'm gonna work a lot this summer, I need spear money for my last academic year. Have to start saving now!

Why I bought my own apartement

There is a lot of students in Umeå. About 30 000 to be quite exact. Most students lives in student homes and corridors the first period of the studies, maybe during the whole education. It is, of course a quite cheap, convenient and easy way to live, if the corridor mates are okay.

But there may be some things a student have to considerate before leaving his or her home for becoming a student. One of them is the ratio between corridor parties and reading required for the finals (or worse, you trying to read when your neighboroughs are partying). One other is the possibillity of corridor mates stealing food and soap from your cupboard. But of course, you might end in the friendly hippie corridor where my stuff is your stuff, with common dinners every weekend and movies every once in a while.

I didn't take any chance, I need to have a place for myself when I read. And I have to read a lot, beeing a medical student, of course. I could have applied for an another corridor until i found the happy hippie corridor, of course, but I like having a place I may redecorate as I like myself. But this blog post is actually not about me, but a way to make some simple corridor solutions.

A classmate of me had to move out of her first corridor after a big fight, her neighboroughs wasn't that.. eh.. safe. The next corridor seemed better, but after a while and quite a lot of angry notes, she realized that her corridor mates was thiefly and unhonest. So how to make them stay away from her food in the refrigator? Well, she gave it a thought, then she baked a full bodied creamy chocolate cake with a lot of frosting.. Heavy chocolate bar frosting. Then she cut the cake in two halves, and put one of them in her spot in the refrigator. This she actually did last night. Today she checked her refrigator, the cake was absolutely absent. After making herself breakfast and lunsh, she went to the exam hall (we had our finals today, yay!) laughing. She is very curious about the state of her corridor mates today. Why? Well.. This very smart and clever medical student added an extra ingredient to the heavy frosting: a bottle of laxatives.

Have a nice summer, and stay away from the food of your medical student friends, unless you're allowed to take..
