Hello,

I'm a full-time student on university in Sweden.

Before the summer break started, we had about four exams and sadly, I failed three of these. I can do them again in August (and one in October, if I can't make it in August) and I'm in need of advice how I can and should study to get the best grade possible and advice how I should plan these re-exams, because I'm in a bit annoying situation.

I have since the start on June been working, because there are no studies during the summer break and I was in need of some kind of employment. I asked my boss if I could take two days of in August, the re-exams are planned the 18th, 19th and 20th August (I wasn't scheduled the 20th). The answer was "Can you work the 20th august instead?" and when I said no, she told me I work too little days in august so I have to check if I can change that (My last working day is the 23th, and I'm employed at 80%).

I told her I'm available to work another week in August, that week I can work four days but she haven't answered me yet. Hopefully she says okay, but if not I have to rethink things. Now to the thing, one of the re-exams is possible to take in October and if I do that, I can work the 20th August and (hopefully) with no problem get my days of the other days. But is it worth it, leaving one exam to later?

I will wait for an answer from my boss, before I make any decision. But I would love to hear what other people would think, because I want to be done with all of them in August but at the same time I'm not too excited to study to three exams and having all of them the same week, especially not when my boss isn't too happy about me asking for days off.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I live in Sweden with my partner and our two cats. Puma, 12 years old lady, and Penny, 4 years old lady. Both are sterilised. Puma was living with me before I met my partner, and Penny moved to us last year in August/September, I don't quite remember exactly when but around autumn 2025.

The cats get along fine, and we are very happy to have two cats because we love cats (especially our girls). But I'm in need of some advice how I should think, because during the summer I will be living in a different part of Sweden because of work. I will be living in my family's summer cabin, and Puma have been there a couple of times before. The cabin is kinda in a forest, but we have train racks close by, which Puma knows about and avoids.

I'm thinking about bringing Puma or both cats, because my partner thinks taking care of both of them can be a lot and it's understandable, but none of us feels totally sure about brining Penny to the cabin because she has never been there. I will, of course, give her the support and help she needs to get used to the new environment but I'm still unsure.

I have heard it's not good to separate cats living together, even though it's a shorter period of time. So, my question is: Should I bring both cats, or only Puma? Or is it better to let both stay home with my partner?
