The evils of drama

what do u do when the one thing u want is bringing up so much that u don't want (ie drama)? I thought coming to Australia would give me a chance to clear my head and straighten out my heart but I seem to have found myself tangled up in a mess of drama and the possibility of a relationship. It's so damn hard because I'm only here for 4 months but at the same time it's 4 MONTHS of a once in a lifetime opportunity why not experience some new things. So far I've tried quite a few things I wouldn't have back home but I don't know if a relationship should become part of that list. I like him I really do and he likes me too but there seems to be an awful lot of drama coming with w/e it is we are doing. From making a mentor (equivalent of an RA) super mad and thinking we were talking about her to some girl who liked him coming back and him having to tell her that he's with someone. I'm just not sure if 3 and 1/2 months (cuz the last 1/2 of that final month would be incredibly hard) of fun, happiness, and the excitement that comes with starting a new relationship (or so i've been told) would be worth all the drama and stress that's bound to arise within the next week. We have classes starting on Monday and that will be hard for both of us because I'm not familiar with their educational system and he's an engineering student so his classes are bound to be difficult. I would love nothing more than to be able to just curl up in his arms and see where this goes but all this drama is going to make it hard. Worst part is I know exactly how hard this is on him because we are incredibly similar. He thinks we laugh the same and i know we think the same because we both hate confrontation not because we cant stand up for ourselves, for me at least it's because it takes me forever to think of just the right way to phrase things. I would rather solve the problem than have a shouting match. It's even harder when the person confronting you 1) is doing it when the two of you were already trying to figure out wether or not to give a relationship a go and 2) is a person of semi-authority so you have to be extremely careful what you say. Uhg, so basically is it worth it?
