I guess you could say I'm a bundle of nerves at the moment.
Tonight I'm going to a blind date world record attempt at the Sydney Opera House. Some people told me not to go because of the girl that's talking to me, and others have said to go anyway. In the end I had to listen to my gut, and it told me that while this new girl is nice, we haven't actually gone on one date yet, so I shouldn't feel bad. This is more of a bit of fun, and to get me through some anxieties about meeting a girl for the first time. Plus I'll be in the Opera House - a place I haven't been in for at least two decades.
Over the weekend I will try to organise some kind of date with this girl, so I'm thinking Saturday night dinner/movies or something. I'm anxious about asking her but I shouldn't delay too much longer, really.
On Monday there's one of two social events I can go to, so I'm deciding which one.
On Tuesday is my university's orientation week, where I will go to the uni and there's a big party for my faculty. Basically free food, concert, and meeting all new uni students all day, so that is giving me butterflies more than you can imagine. I will definitely go to that, because I need to see the uni some more before I jump in.
The following Monday is my first day of uni - my first foray back into the education system after ten full years away from it. I'm shit scared.
So, with all this happening, I'm feeling a bit chronically anxious, but these are things I need to do.
