Stupid drama

We've begun another round of midterms! I can't believe how time is passing; It seems like we've just finished first semester, and now we can see the finish line for our first year. Things have been a little bit stressful lately, primarily due to our landlord. He has invited us to take him to court if we want to see our damage deposit again. I don't care about the money that he's attempting to steal from us, I'm mostly angry because we're being screwed for doing nothing wrong and this is distracting for Colin during exams. We've contacted the Sydney University Postgraduate Representative Association for advice, and I'm hoping that they're supportive and helpful. My mom suggested not paying our last two weeks rent because she knew that we wouldn't see our damage deposit again (which was the amount of 2 weeks rent, and residing in India with our landlord) and I insisted that he was an honest fellow. Next time I won't be so naive and I'll listen to my mom. Fortunately, because we're renting a home legitimately through a real estate agency, our current damage deposit has been registered with a bond agency, who serve as an impartial board only concerned with damage and damage alone.

Hopefully we can get our money back and get this guy into a bit of trouble.

Our house looks awesome, I'll have to tidy it up and take some pictures later this week.
