Also, I have bought a lab coat that promises to be much fun to swim in.

Excellent. That makes me kind of sad I don't read German.

Also, I have bought a lab coat that promises to be much fun to swim in.

That's a surprising sentence if ever I read one!

Well, I am a recreational fully clothed swimmer, and light flapping clothes are most fun to swim in.

Since when were lab coats ‘light’ or ‘flapping’?

Because 24 hours seems like a pain to work into my schedule, I figured I'd take the civics test instead. Extra fun is that I chose to do it in French, primarily because there weren't spots available for tests in English, but also because I don't trust their translations of French into English and I speak the language well enough. However, a lot of people I know were complaining about the test and saying it was extremely difficult, so I was prepared for the worst... I studied a bit, brushing up on Luxembourgish history and the governmental structures, but wasn't sure if it was enough (and other things were getting in the way; however, booking test times is always a challenge and I just figured I would go for the test today and see what would be the worst that could happen).

I went to the test this afternoon. Forty multiple-choice questions in one hour; I was done in 10 minutes and very cleanly passed (35/40). Very happy that's out of the way. Now all that's left is the language test...

Congratulations! And good luck! I'm a bit surprised that there was an option of taking it in English, though.
