Do return to complete your last 1.5 months of study; DO NOT FAIL TO GRADUATE ON TIME!! Failure to graduate will also lable you as undependable; incapable of reaching a goal; a quiter. sure all untrue, but equally hard to deflect when trying to compete against "qualified" applicants that have a degree when you are looking for a position of importance.
After you graduate; have some fun; then return to tasmania with your diploma and work for GSLM for shares.
While working around GLSM, take classes recommended by Clive to beef up your education on geology.
That way you still keep your parents in the loop; and you maximize your presence in all situations.
At least go back home to college - so you can get the phone numbers of all the hottest and best looking chicks in your class, and when you are in Tassi tell them about your oil exploits. you will have them all eating out of your hand cuz all the other male graduates (you peers) will probably be simply waiters for the next ten years.
And then after we hit oil, you will be able to afford to meet me in Monaco or Havair near Dubrovnic for some great parties. maybe Holbart will become the new mecca for the hot chicks looking for rich oil dudes.
