I just realized that I should tell you about my room, my castle, the hole I live in or what ever you want to it. I am living on a student corridor like most students here in Umeå.

My college and me had some time to kill on the new campus until the housing office was open. We sat around under a bridge and gave a quite sad picture, but at least it was dry there. Shortly after seven we started for our new homes and guess what... it started raining. So we crep under the next cover. It didnt last long so we had been at our ... read more
