So, 3 exams done and 3 to go! They exams today went fairly well actually, I think. I only hope I won't jinx it by saying that though. It was so cute, because the vigilators that control the procedures in the exam room are quite old (retired in fact), and one of them recognized that my last name was Swedish today. It went like this:
Him: (after looking at my ID): "Hm.. Is dat een Zweedse naam?" (Is that a Swedish name?)
Me: "Ja, ja, dat klopt." (Yes, that's right)
Him: "Dat is heel mooi, zeg" (That is really nice)
On the next exam, as I was handing it in:
Him: "Dat is inderdaad een hele mooie naam!" (That is indeed a really nice name!)
Me: "Dank u wel!" (Thank you!)
Him: "Maar, spreek je ook de taal?" (But, do you also speak the language?)
Me: "Zweeds? Ja, natuurlijk." (Swedish? Yes of course.)
Him: "Ah, wat leuk!" (Oh, how nice!)
A bit strange conversation now that I think about it, but he was so adorable! Who knows, maybe the love of his life is Swedish and that's why he's so curious about it? I wonder if he thought I was half Dutch, half Swedish?
