Ever made a difficult decision.

One point you really start to think about your future, right?
It was my last of school for the holidays and I was just laying in bed at 1am thinking about my university situation and what not.
You know what I thought?
I am really sick of where I am living right now! That's right! I really hate living in England! I have been here forever and to go through another 5+ years here is just way too much!!!
I don't want to anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being born in an Asian family, you have to and I mean absolute have you follow the rules.
You can probably picture my dad, the Taxi driving, angry looking man. But he actually is not that angry looking but he always manages to have my friends say "Your dad scares me".
So as I was saying.
I have those ambitions to travel the world, I know I am not the only one and I thrive for that to happen. Normally when I want something I end up getting it, but not in a spoilt way. When I was young I wanted this mp3 player, everyday I would stare at the argos book until I got it.
I keep going off topic!
I want to study abroad, with the expenses of university (cheers for that, David..) I don't think medical uni's are cheap anyway.
Ah, god help me.
Has anybody ever done something like that?
Traveled to a different country, your family thinking your mad and can't live without them? For a whole year?
