Financial Planning - check!

I did it! I survived the Financial Planning exam this morning! The only thing that remains to be seen now is whether I passed it or not. However, I'm still happy that I've got it over with and actually managed to do some calculations. This might sound like very low criterias, but given the fact that I knew nothing about this yesterday, I think it's pretty good. Tomorrow is the Management and Organization exam, and then I'm (almost) free!

Ja, ik spreek Zweeds.

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?

Hell week: Day 2.

Today is a day that will require coffee - in masses. I have two exams today, and when I get home I have to start studying for the next one that is tomorrow. I barely slept last night because my brain just wouldn't shut down after studying intensively the whole evening after I came home from the exam. What is more worrying though, is that I've noticed that I probably need to start sleeping with my braces again. I am biting my teeth together every single night now (and sometimes during the day even!).

Can this week just end already?

1 down, 5 to go!

I finished relatively quick on this first exam. It could only mean two things: I either knew it very well, or I had no idea what the hell I was doing. I guess we'll see when I get the results...

Let the exams begin!

It's here: the exam week. 

I've been studying really hard in the weekend and now I feel prepared for at least the exam that I have today (Global Economic Dimensions). The whole coming week will be filled with exams, and every night will be dedicated to panic-studying for the one the next day.


Don't you just love exam week? 

Exactly how I feel right now...

The day after

Last night was really great! The whole place and all the people were really glowing in the dark, and I got a sprayed on tattoo on my arm in neon paint as well as a heart. It looked really cool actually. Almost everyone were wearing white or bright neon colors that really lid up the place. Like I said, it was a truly great night.

However, today I'm totally exhausted due to lack of sleep and it's pretty hard to focus on studying when your eyes won't stay open. Anyway, I'll give it a try!

I borrowed some pictures from a friend since mine turned out really blurry:

Neon flower - check!

Project E party

Tonight I'm taking a break from the studies to go to the biggest party of the year. It's called Project E, is organized in Scheveningen at the beach, and will hold up to 1600 people. Sounds great, right?

The theme is NEON and there will be UV-lights and neon body paint to glow in the dark. I bought a regular white t-shirt especially for this purpose! I think we all deserve a night off from the intense studying that is now filling up our days (and nights!).

Here is the facebook page to the party:
