Thank you all for your responses! Perhaps it was the weather, because I went solo on the 10th!
0.3 command hours, and I'm waiting for the G20 in Brisbane to pass so I can go up again solo.
Also - I may be nuts for dropping a Law degree, but by the time I hold my CPL + MECIR, I'll also have a Bachelor of Arts to my name.
Sorry I didn't reply sooner - uni exams are upon me.
