If I wasn`t leaving anyone important behind and I wouldn`t have to pay for it with a kidney, I`d go to Australia. It`s only 6 months, sounds like a cool experience to look back on. |

Do I...
So, today I have to make a big choice, it was made up in my haid, but now it's not because things have changed a little.
I can:
a) Go to Australia for 6 months next year at a potentially terrible uni and spend lots of money doing so (the awesome uni I was going to go to is being awkward with my current instiution right now, so it mihgt be off the table), but live with awesome pople there and for 6 months before going.
or
b) Go to a meeting tonight and sign a contract for a house with a bunch of people I don't know (I didn't go with friends because of the Australia thing that was going to go ahead at the time), stay where I am right now and continue being given money for being awesome.
Hmm, it's a toughie.

Indeed - you aren't talking about six years or the rest of your educational life. Now is the time to travel and experience things, before you start accumulating responsibilities.

Agreed! It's a perfect oppurtunity to get out and explore the world and enjoy your life with who I'm assuming are your friends since you say they're awesome. Sounds like a once in a lifetime oppurtunity, and a hell of a lot of fun to me. I say go for it.

It sounds like Australia would be far better for you.
PS. Read Bill Bryson's book "Down Under" before going. It's a good read and gives a real idea as to what Australia's like.*............*............*

Right, being the headstrong bastard I am (
) I decided against Australia because the unis on offer really were dire. Instead I bumped into a friend and am moving in with her/a few other awesomes. So things have worked themselves out really. I'm going to use the Australia money on going there after uni as part od a gap year.

Glad to hear everything turned out smoothly like that.
Though I imagine Australia would be a good choice in getting yourself a degree in crocodile hunting with the tried-and-true Crocodile Dundee career path.

Pfft fine. You do realise I'll be spending a loooong time in Canada visiting some long lost family during my gap year. Mwahaha.
