I haven't posted for a little while (ok a week is a little while for me) because I have been patiently waiting for some good news- i have only one piece at the moment:

* Cathay Pacific finally refunded my ticket money yes $1400 back off my credit card and it took only 7 months and god knows how much interest. They have been telling me for the last 4 months that it will come off next week-hmmm.

On the bad news front:

- My stepdad is back in hospital and not doing so good
- My grandmothers breast cancer appears to have returned
- I had a huge fight with my father and despite the apology and supposed resolution I doubt things will ever be the same
- same old financial problems
- plus I'm just a tad anxious about returning to study next week
