double whammy

As per usual, I'm just writing in this thing to pass some time. I have class in an hour, but I forgot my laptop at my flat this morning - as that is the only thing that gets me through the lecture, I'll probably skip. Whatever. Besides, I have a test in another class at 6:00 that I need to study for. Not that the test will be too difficult, but I want to make sure I actually do well on the thing.

I have a test of a different sort later tonight, maybe. I'm planning on having drinks with a girl I met early on in this semester abroad business - nothing confirmed but I asked her to hang out last night and she suggested this evening instead.. . Anyway, I decided that enough is enough with dancing around the idea and I should go for it. Those reading this that know me well will know that I'm on pins and needles about the whole thing, given my nearly paralyzing fear of rejection. Though I could use this to my (possible) advantage ["...it took me so long to get around to this because..."] I'm thinking not, I don't want to make it awkward. Ah, well first I have to get through today and this evening. It's probably just my inexperience - I've only really gone on...2 or 3 dates my whole life (by what most would define as a "date;" I will [and have] embellshed that figure), so I always feel like a middle schooler in a 22-year olds body. I should stop though I'm probably boring you to death.

I really have to get the ball rolling on traveling - I haven't left Auckland once since I got here and the mid-semester break is 19 days away...who wants to wager the over/under possiblity that I'll end up sitting on my ass (in Auckland) for the entire two week break?
