Thanks kc2ixe and Pete. That puts the system in perspective now.

The only certain thing for my near future is that i will take a gap year when i finish high school this year. I want to do a surf-lifesaving course and the equivalent (I think) of an EMT-B course before i go to America to be a counsler on a "summer camp". From there, i will travel with a mate of mine.
