How long will you be able to reside in Kloten?

Just remember, if you look intimidating, grunt/mumble your answers or say "Ja" and "Nein", there is a good possibility everyone will think your a German, especially if you learn to pronounce your last name in a very gutteral manner. Once you have done that, they will be afraid (very afraid) not to grant your every wish! Therefore finding an apartment and a job should be very easy! Life is really very simple!

The schedule sounds pretty good except for the "solo ascent of the harrowing Eiger north face". After the bungee jumping escapade in New Zealand, I fear you may actually make an attempt to conquer the Eiger. Please assure me you won't. Stephanie has the right idea - pushing paperclips around a desk top is far less dangerous!
