Your are correct 6 hours is not a lot of flying but unless I am mistaken after passing a skill test with a JAA approved examiner I am good to go. Maybe you spent your first week waiting for Homeland Security to get back to you with your security clearance. Last I heard before any flight training in the US for us Europeans approval from Homeland security clearance was about a month. What a way for your government to cr@p all over your flight schools.
The flip side is that I may not wish to fly with you being a bit slow on the uptake.
