Swiss XI

So back to the institute where the tests were held, and this time I was whisked into the class room immediately. To my surprise the test was made together with another student, and two teachers. But it felt more like a chat.

First we were asked to present ourselves, where we came from, where we live and what we do. Then we were asked to pick a picture out of five, the themes were work, school, food, house or leisure time. Work and school were out for me, was briefly considering to talk about my newfound love for cooking, or give them a rundown of my project with a new flat but ended up talking about leisure time.

They asked why I chose it, and I responded because I have a lot of it. That rendered a few smiles. Then I talked about cooking, starting with sports again last year (mentioning that I lost a few kg's and got a few comments from the teachers that they would like to do that too...yes both women) and my horse riding. Which I could've talked about a lot longer, but after a little while, they looked at the time and told us the 15 minutes were up.

Right. Was that it? It was this easy? In hindsight I don't know at all why I worried.

And back to the Swiss bureaucrazy. The institute is not allowed to tell us how it went. The information will be sent to the Zürich city, and we are to wait for the results from them. Up to six friggin weeks.

Ah well, again, if I don't pass, I shall sell up and leave immediately.
