Routines at the castle
This is a short and general summary of some of our routines and rules here at the castle.
At the castle we have certain times that food is available to us. All of out meals are served in the food court, the same place that the whole school has lunch.
7.15-8.00: Breakfast.
8.15: Most classes start at this time.
11.00-13.00: Lunch, depending on when your lunch break is scheduled.
15.15: Usually when the last lesson ends.
15.15-16.15: Snack time/Mellanmål for the boarding students.
18.30-19.30: Dinner.
This is usually what an average day looks like and in between these times we do our homework, hang out with friends or do extracurricular activites.

However, as boarding students we have to take responsibility for ourselves and some of the chores are on our own shoulders. Once a week our rooms are vacuumed and cleaned but we have to make sure our rooms are not to messy and that things are in their right place. Every second week we are given new bed linens so we change that ourselves. Cleaning our clothes is something we don't get helped with. There are several washing machines and tumble dryers available for us so we can clean our clothes whenever we like. If we feel hungry at other times than the common meal times we are able to use the boarding kitchen on the first floor to make our own food, noodles for example. Another responsibility we have is to get up in the morning and not miss any lessons.
Since there are 46 students living at the boarding it is necessary to have some rules of when we have to be back home.
Sunday-Thursday: We have to be home by 23.00
Firdays: We have to be home by 02.00
Saturdays: We have to be home by 01.00
During the weekend we can ask for permission to sleep over at a friend's house but then we need the permission from both that family as well as our own parents. If it is to be approved it has to be sent in before noon on thursday and then we don't live at the castle during that/those days and follow the other family's rules.

This may all seem complicated and hard to get, and I also thought so in the beginning, but once you've lived here for a while it really comes naturally and routines fall into place.
