Find yourself a way of acquiring $$$'s (legally) and get to your nearest club; get your PPL; if you do go to Uni, see if they have a Uni flying squad. Be nice to the people at the club. If the aircraft need to go elsewhere for maintenance be ready and willing to take that role. Get pally with the members, who needs someone to tag along with them on a ferry trip, etc. Get those hours, once they're in your logbook they don't go away.
