Hasta La Motion!

Hi guys i am interested in motion design and vfx. But where i live there are no schools only online like gnomon digital tutors and fxphd. Planing to spent some serious money to educate my self by baying tutorials. I would like to become motion designer by summer 2011 that is my plan right now i found my self shity ass job that only pays for rent and food but gives me time to educate my self. I am planing to structure my entire year and a half like a normal school.

I will teach my self Cinema 4d After effects, real flow and since i have interest in vfx i would like to know Houdini and nuke and i know that every software has its learning curve specially Houdini. My question is this am i trying to do to much here? if i try to do to much here will it bite me in the ass and burn me out. Or should i just concentrate on one area such as motion design, Cinema 4d and AF. What do you guys think? Are any foy you self thought and how did you approach it? I am thinking should i drop Nuke since i am learning AF all ready or i should know both of them?

Thanks guys for your help.
