I've had a few things happening at home recently, and although I've still been here, I haven't been able to give it as much attention as I have been doing before.

My family is going through a tough time at the moment with a builder. They contracted with him to build an extension to our house so that my grandma can move there and it won't be as hard to help her out with things, but he used shoddy timber for floorboards and they've started to crack and separate, the kitchen wasn't installed properly, one side wall has deviated about 3 inches from the plumb line where it was supposed to be straight, and a few other things like that. Mum and Dad have had to talk with their solicitors (read: lawyers) about breaking the contract with him and getting someone else in to finish the job. They lodged a complaint with the Department of Fair Trading, and apparently we're not the first people to have done so, but now because my parents are refusing to pay him the last amount of money because he hasn't finished the job properly, he said he's taking them to the building complaints tribunal, and my parents are getting a bit stressed out about it.

Other things that have been happening recently that add to that are:
The fact that my dad was studying for an exam to get a job in the coal mines in Queensland (and in spite of my own uni study commitments, my mum kept saying that I should be helping him too on top of my own stuff)
Me getting stressed out about not being able to understand the units that I was doing (and ultimately withdrawing from them and deciding to change my degree to a more suitable one next semester)
Having other responsibilities as treasurer of the local touch football association that I had to fulfill on top of everything else
A bit of stress about work (because it's starting to get pretty busy again)
Thinking seriously about a female friend who said recently that she would love to marry me...

And that's why I haven't really been commenting on here as much as I was.
