    wow…that will be interesting to see…I bet she'll watch Andy M. and Federrer play. Hope she watches Ana and Jelena as well…nonetheless a very symbolic gesture…

    I think she will watch a men's game, probably Andy Murray's. That is if Murray lasts till June 24th.

    Bb and Karunya, I was thinking the same thing, who she will watch, and I also believe it will be a men's match.

    Bb, the preparations for the exam are going well, but I have resumed working today so it will be much more challenging to learn the things I haven't yet (and it's more than a half). And on top of all that today I got it confirmed that the examiners are very strict and you have to know everything. We'll see how it goes…

    What material is it on Marija? I hope you do well…you never stop learning in a lifetime!

    Constitution, European Union, some laws and rights concerning work, organization in an office, and things like that.

    UGH and I'm leaving June 12th. Would be awesome if I told other people I saw the Queen in real life lol.

    LuLinQa, thanks, I will need it. :P

    Lilly, I suppose there will be a lot of people wanting to watch that match. I mean, not all of them will make it.
