Last week's Tuesday I committed to the bit and actually did the Dutch HAM/Amateur radio Novice exam I wanted to do in 2025. I didn't have too much time then, but now I was able to pass in ~10 minutes of the exam thanks to weeks and months of prior study and experience. And I got the callsign PD5CVD registered for myself at the Dutch Inspection for Digital Infrastructure (basically for (amateur) radio, this is our equivalent to the US FCC and British Ofcom for instance).
