Just been to:

for a few days, so I have not been in:

and I had not:

for my exam.....

I guess like most people reading this, I have taken a few exams in my time, but today was a little bit weird. Today I took my “Swedish for Immigrants” exam, which consisted of four papers. The first two were quite similar, question and answer kind of thing, and then in the third paper I had to draft a letter to the local council.

After doing these I was told to go to classroom number 10. So I toddled off and found the room empty apart from some tables and chairs, an exam paper and a portable stereo. On the board was written: “Tryck på play” (“Press Play”), so I was my own exam invigilator. But I was good, I didn't cheat, I listened to the tape and I felt I did quite well as I understood all the conversation snippets. So at the end I stopped the tape, turned the lights off and went in search of my teacher.

.... STOP PRESS.... STOP PRESS.... STOP PRESS....

I have just received a call from my teacher and I have passed!! Wahoo!! Aparantly I did OK nearing on really well. Serweet. Now I can concentrate on finding a job and have a piece of paper to show a potential employer that they will not need to speak English with me the whole time. I am really pleased. Think I might go and have a celebratory kip(sleep).

That is all.
