I see my self looking at a laptop screen, in a dimly lit compartment. The screen is displaying weather and reletive data such as dew point, humidity, instability, current temps, wind speed and other data. The other half is a radar image of current cluster cell, and super cell storms being updated every 30 seconds. I have a clipboard in my hand with a recent printout of storm reports. I take a look at the screen and overlay a gps readout of my current position. I am in the right spot, I open the door and look up to see a wall cloud dropping, and rotating. The rest of the storm is spralwed out over the plains of Oklahoma.Time is sparse, I run to the trunk of my vehicle and grab my camera and a small science pack to drop in the field. A lightning bolt strikes close by causing me to stop for a second. I look up again and see a small funnel starting to drop from the wall cloud. I flip some switches, and drop the pack in a field step back and watch the rope of the forming tornado, a small debris cloud can be seen forming about a half mile away. I jump into the car and drive ahead and out of the path of the storm. Now out of harms way, I look back and see the now full twister slowly meandering its way to my science pack. Happy I grab a lawn chair and light a cigarette as the tornado gracefully picks up my pack, giving me a chance to relax one on one with the rage of nature.

Hmm. Do you have an actual plan as to how to get money? IIRC, you live in Australia. You can get a decent paying job with really low living costs if you don't mind spending a year in the middle of nowhere over there, at least compared to the rest of the world. Then you could probably skip two semesters provided you spend that time doing self-study and sign up for too many classes for your first year. Then you'll have way more money saved, get your education done just as quickly, etc.

I'd definitely stay for your undergraduate degree. It may not sound as exotic as moving overseas, but you've got a decent educational system, which ends up costing fuck all when you factor in youth allowances and shit.
