Default School/placement abroad * UPDATE *

Owkee here is the deal ... I changed my mind already for 100 times so I could use some advice ...
As I will be in my 3rd and last year after this one at school I have the chance to go abroad ... I think it's a great adventure, oppurtinity and chance of a lifetime to get some life-experience, depend on yourself, make new friends, learn about other cultures and other ways of teaching ... So if you ask me if I want too, I say yes for 100% ... But of course I wouldnt ask anything like this if there weren't some problems ... The first problem is money ... It is quite a lot and my parents are doubting if they can ... They will think about it and as soon as I made a decision for myself they will see if it will work yes or no ... SO money is the first big problem. The 2nd problem is Im scared I want to do too much ... I mean I have to take classes for the language of that country, have to do placement (in Belgium) when the other students have lessons which means I will do exams from stuff I have to learn myself as I will not have those lessons ... I also have to make my thesis which means I should collect all my info and stuff like that beFORE I leave which is January-february ... So I really wanna do it as I'm totally up for it, you can choose almost any country in Europe ... but at the other side Im scared I will risk too much at school and fail my last year because of it ..

We also have a second option which is placement and school for 1 month ... That should be a solution for all problems as the money isnt such a prob anymore, it's not that long, I don't have to do placement when the others have lessons ... but also on this there is a another side ... You can't choose the country (It's between Germany, Netherlands, Lithuania, Estionia or Spain) and there are only 7 people who can go ... which means there is a chance I have nothing at the end ... With the placement of 3 months it's unlimited.

SO it's really hard and I change my mind almost every hour ... so could use your advice !!!!!!!!!!! I have to give my papers within 2 weeks

Thanx
