When they say, "A first time for everything", they mean EVERYTHING.

My 'firsts' in the week before my 21st:

• My first blood donation after two previous failed attempts. Just wanted to get poked. Sue me.
• My first presentation postponement.
• My first meeting and conversation with a particular prof after a potentially disastrous incident last year.
• My first time planning two salsa outings in a week... before the holidays, no less.
  
• Breaking in my first pair of salsa shoes.
• My first celebration of Valentines (albeit by myself... or should I say with every other salsa-rian?)... went salsa
• My first time being chatted up (wait for it) by a corporate guy more than twice my age, including trying to buy me a drink, trying to get me to sit down, the "I'm leaving in 5 to 10 minutes you know" and the "Do I look like a bad guy". Jeepers, he even had one of the staff (poor fellow) to call me over to start with.
  
• My first time dancing with an auntie.
• My first time having my eyes nearly poked out (and my contact lens literally poked out) by a dance partner.
• My first bachata. Oh. My. Goodness. Gracious. What an experience.
• My first time making plans for my own birthday.

Great... now I'm hooked on bachata... where do I get the cash to learn it...
