Good news, One. I am alive! :D

Secondly, by the end of next year, I should be a qualified Private Pilot.

One of the math teachers in a Flight Instructor, he got permission to start a Flight corse, and $2000 for it, it's fairly cheap.

Two term class, runs the full Australian Pilot show, theroy and practical.

I'm so happy! :D

Sure you were talking about the same thing when they said it would cost $2000 to get your wings?
