I am suppose to apply this July to remove my condition. But unfortunately our marriage relation is not going so well. We are planing to separate. But i wold like to stay in this country and have my citizenship so that I could finish my school and go back to my country and then come back either i want to or i have to.

You must first remove the conditions on your residence. Assuming you remove the conditions on your residence, you could apply for naturalization but not until you have been a resident for five years. You would only be able naturalization to file for naturalization in February 2020 as you may file up to 90 days before your fifth anniversary of becoming a resident.
