My hopeful PhD supervisor announced he will be without internet in Mexico for some weeks, and could I send him all the paperwork by Friday. Sure, no problem, two questionaires, a few forms. 

Begins paperwork:
Do I have an ausbildung or a praktikum? Both translate to internship.
Please fill in your grades according to the german system? I have grades from UK, Sweden, US, France and Germany.... 
Please fill in the following for non-tourist stays abroad as part of your studies.. address: oh no please don't make me do that I can't even remember them all...
