Speaking of which, Edwige saying she preferred the theatre in an interview at the Cannes Film Festival and me having subconscious knowledge of this caused an accidental parallel in my final spoken German exam where I was asked what I wanted to do after college -- move to Germany, for example -- and I said, all too honestly, "nah i wanna move to France"

#the two examiners raised their eyebrows and were like 'well do you speak french??' bc i didn't study it in main degree #and i was like 'a little' and then idk i started talking about theatre and vibes or something #but basically the gist of that section of the exam was 'everything i have studied at university formally has nothing to do #with what i really want to do in life' and that only struck me afterwards XD 💀💀💀#it was defo a slight suckerpunch for the examiners it was so funny #but it was well known in the dept i think that i wanted to do theatre bc i literally would not stfu about it in that final year of college #FOR THE RECORD I did say I was considering to live in Vienna for a while so I DID RECOVER THE VIBE #and i spoke ab my interest in Elisabeth of Austria and the vibes of Vienna #and then after the exam ended the main examiner was like 'omg i remember bumping into you at the Spanische Hofreitschule'#AND THAT WAS BACK IN MARCH 2019 #i was so stunned but yeah turns out i guess she shared the interest in Sisi and the Hofreitschule #i was amazed she remembered but it's something that has stayed with me in my heart <3 #roacc #also i totally was chancing my arm bc i wanted to shift the power dynamic in my favour immediately the moment i entered the room #and i stupidly said 'wow it's so sunny out today!' instead of 'bright' bc the sun had since disappeared but the room was swathed #in natural light #but thankfully neither of them turned back to check the massive windows lmfao 💀 so they cheerfully agreed and moved on
