To my dearest corridormate, Clothilde Blanchon

It's been 5 months
Time has whizzed by so fast
When I first came, you had gone on a last minute trip to France
(I still remember you missed your Swedish exam for that!)
The first thing I learnt about you was that you loved to eat salad
Because you left a whole bowl of it for Soheil!

I remember introducing you to everyone as the prettiest girl in my corridor
You were, and you still are
(Of course, there's Annie, but Annie's sexy, u're still the prettiest! :P)
You'd blush like crazy whenever I said that!

I remember when I came back from my first jog in the snow - You were in the kitchen, and I think you thought I was crazy!
Remember when we went jogging together? You jogged so fast! And you could still talk all the way! I was completely breathless after the first 10 minutes! Fittest girl in the corridor!! Thank you for introducing me to that jogging route - it's been my jogging route ever since :)

I remember seeing you have salad for almost every meal
I remember all the carrots and potatoes you cooked (and fed me!)
I remember the superb omelet you fried
I remember seeing you eat yoghurt (with apple or wasa) after every meal
I remember all the times that you burnt your breakfast bun! :P

I remember the times when I came back from work so tired that I didn't want to move, yet you'd cook for me and feed me until I couldn't eat anymore
I remember the vitamins you made me drink when I was sick
I remember linking arms with you and Annie as we skipped our way home on my first trip to Gula Villan. I fell face first in the snow, and got a blueblack on my cheek after that (so embarrassing! hahaha)

I will never forget the fantastic crepes that you make
Your secret recipes for your salad dressing (mustard, balsamic vinegar, basil, olive oil, salt and pepper!), and the way you make simple peppers taste so good after a good overnight soak in olive oil and lemon in the fridge.
I will never forget your constant smile, your cheerful laughter that reaches up to your beautiful green eyes

The times that we shared in our beautiful corridor
The sound of our laughter blending in harmony as we cooked and cleaned the afternoon after a corridor party
The memories of banging on everyone's door at 3am in the morning
(The memories of getting my door banged on at 3am in the morning :P)
It felt like home

Thank you for being part of my life
For being the sunshine during the cold winter days
For playing a part in this beautiful corridor family

Clo, you will always be in my heart

P.s. Don't forget me when you've become a famous lawyer!
P.s.s Je t'aime
