Good luck, Yennie!!!! I had my graduation in 2000 (unfortunately not in Sweden, but I would love it to wear such a cap), it wasn´t that bad, I´ve imagined. And the time after your final exams is great! Just look at Madeleine (from www.polfoto.dk)

Have a wonderful day Yennie! Are you graduating from High School or University? B)

Yennie · #4 06-06-2003, 02:09 PM

I´m 20 years old and I graduated from "gymnasiet" as its called in Sweden... so I guess you could say that its both high school and college... if you know what I meen

Thanks! I had a wonderful day!

hi

I have question about graduations in sweden, why do all the graduates wear those 'seamanhats' and are driving around in 'trucks' (well at least in stockholm). how did this tradition began?

thx in advance

paulette · #6 06-07-2003, 03:40 AM

I was just wondering why when you graduate in Sweden you will wear whiote dresses and seaman caps??? Is it necessary I mean here in our place we wear white galas like an alternate uniform its all white but we don't wear those caps/....

Yennie · #7 06-07-2003, 03:47 AM

Its tradition.. everybody wears them. The cap have different colours depending on your school/major.
When your graduation is over all your friends sign the hat and you keep it as a memory...
and I think the reason why your dress is white is that you should look innocent and sweet

I´m still a little "graduation high" so sorry if this sounds a little confusing =)

Congratulations Yennie! It is a great day for you! I got my white-and-black cap 1984 and I still know, how proud I was then. I come from your neighbour country and as you surely know, we have just the same white-and-black cap with the golden lyra on it.

Yennie · #9 06-07-2003, 05:45 PM

Thanks Alexandra!
I hope your graduation was as wonderful as mine! I had a wonderful day!

Oh, I´ve thought that you still have to write the exams. But as I see now you already have your exam and that you´re celebrating it now. My congratulations!!!! And I´m

singing a "studentsång" for you

Is it in Sweden also common to make a journey with your classmates to a foreign country (e.g we were in Kos/Greece)?! I remember that princess Madeleine was in 2001 in France with far more people than before. Were that her classmates or friends, she knew from somewhere else?

Yennie · #11 06-09-2003, 12:04 PM

I didnt go anywhere with my friends, we had a party instead =) It was alot of fun!
And on the graduation day the school had arranged a big concert and me and my friends drove around the town in a red cadillac

I read that Madeleine´s grades somewhen and she seemed to be quite good. How about the other ones? What were they good at? I also heard that the king was a bad student, is that true?

Lena · #15 09-09-2003, 03:17 PM

I´ve also read that the king wasn´t a very good student, but I don´t know his grades, what I know are CP Victoria´s grades: in almost all subjects the best possible mark, in English and Swedish she had two " fyra" (which would be a "B" or in Germany a "2"), and in mathematics she had a "tre" ("C" or "3"-mathematics as worst subject... I feel with her

) That are really good marks, especially when you remeber her "dyslexia-confession" from last year! You can see a copy of her report-card in Jenny´s fourth yahoo club on Victoria (look under "rare pictures")

Yennie · #16 09-09-2003, 05:37 PM

true, both Victoria and Madeleine made really good grades in school. I don´t know about Carl Philip´s grades but since he suffers from dyslexia maybe he didn´t made that good grades?
But I remember his teacher saying that "the prince got a really good graduation grade"... so who knows?

This dyslexia-thing...I´m a little bit confused. What are the facts, are all three children of the king suffering from dyslexia, inclusive Madeleine (concerning her, I´m not sure) ?!

Gita · #18 09-09-2003, 06:31 PM

I have heard that Princess Madeleine does not have dyslexia but Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Carl Philip has got the learning difficulty for sure, like myself.

Yennie · #19 09-10-2003, 04:36 AM

Both Carl Philip and Victoria have spoken about thier dyslexia.
And I think that the Queen mentioned in an interview that all the children had dyslexia.. but Carl Philip had the biggest problem with it. So maybe Madeleine has a "light" type of dyslexia?

That´s interesting. When and where has Carl Philip spoken about his dyslexia? I have never heard him talking about such personal matters/feelings like Victoria.
