(So nobody forgets about BMC over the summer)

Hej hej,

ever experienced the most typical BMC day?

The day starts off and you arrive on your bike,

alternatively by bus or by a little uphill hike.

The first big challenge of the day:

finding a place for your bike to stay.

Between thousands of bikes you find one rare free space

and feel lucky in this case.

You say goodbye to your bike and hope to see it later again

– you may never know, as there’s still Lund’s bike stealing gang.

You enter BMC and are offered a choice:

tiptoeing through the slow-mo revolving door

or stumbling across the floor – being hit by the closing automatic door.

After you’ve picked and finally made it in,

you are greeted by friends sitting on the big stairs,

opposite to them a table with free fika, which of course is neither yours nor theirs.

You pass the table with an envious glance

and find out your seminar is on level 13, what a chance!

So, a second time mountaineering today, yay!

You arrive upstairs and try your best to breathe normally,

as this is not sports but university.

After your seminar it’s lunchtime and students stream out of all the doors

while steam streams out of the microwave room.

The fire alarm is set off and you assemble outside of the building

– apparently, there was once again someone too determined on popcorn gilding.

Thankfully, it’s nothing severe and the building can be captured by students again,

which leads to the second big challenge of the day:

Not finding a place for your bike to stay

but finding the last empty bit

for you and your friends to eat and sit.

To avoid the crowds, you might end up at the anatomy, which is a good strategy,

as there’s usually only skeletons, so basically no body.

Before your next lecture starts, you want to grab a coffee,

and hey, lucky day – the machine’s door is neither open,

nor is the whole thing broken.

So, you can get your coffee,

make it through the lecture and then be free.

On your way out of the building

you’re accompanied by the sounds of the grand piano in the hall.

Next generation’s Mozart is trying his best for a talent scout to finally call.

You leave BMC, fighting the second door dilemma of the day

but in the end you find your way.

Outsideneveryone is worshiping the sun.

This BMC day is over, and in the end, it was fun.

With all its small peculiarities, we still love our BMC,

so don’t forget it over summer or lose your card key!
