bored housemates who have finished exams cook and cathartically throw out things

ever since Lynn and Michael finished their exams 2 Fridays ago, they have been finding things to amuse themselves - Lynn went on a massive baking spree, roping in Michael to drive her to the supermarket to buy ingredients and to help her with filling pastry with pineapple jam, while Michael (for a short while) tried to create dishes from an Asian Cookbook he had brought (according to Lynn, his Seabass with Chilli and Garlic sauce was really good).Lynn's really good (first batch) of closed pineapple tarts - we tried making open ones but the lack of cookie cutters AND an incorrect dough texture meant they werent as great...and her individual-serving-sized Pear and Almond tarts.

then they both started to go on a cleaning spree (though strangely enough, only of their rooms and not of the common areas -hahaha...). now they each have a huge trash bag sitting outside their rooms (and Lynn has a box of papers sitting by the front door waiting for recycling day to be thrown out) because they've decided to start clearing out "rubbish" from their rooms - i.e. clothes that dont fit, books and papers they dont want and general what-is-this-for stuff lying around their rooms in addition to actual rubbish...

and i'm actually looking forward to joining them next week when i can start throwing out things and saying goodbye to everything...it's funny how we are doing housemate-bonding stuff now when we only have a month left as housemates...
