Jon,
If you really like this girl, you might want to tell her that and also tell her you are trying to work out some things right now... could you try to see if the relationship might be put on hiold for a bit? It just seems that it would be destined for failure now with all the other things swirling around in your head. College is a learning time... not just in the academic sense... I think. For me, it was a time when I really formulated my personality and began to understand what I did and didn't agree with in life. And, as I said, it took many years after that to go through all my shit and REALLY find out where I stood and who I am. You are so far ahead of that. So please try to give yourself a bit of a break and take things a bit at a time.
I LOVE Australia. We went to the Gold Coast for Christamas and it was just fabulous. Awfully big spiders, though, I must say

Love, Beth
