Same girl again

Well, Saturday, I woke up early, and was feeling confident. After a tense hour or two, I went over there and knocked on her door, she didn't answer, she was on the phone. I came back in 30 minutes, she was still on the phone, I knocked again anyways, and she anwsered. I tried to ask her to lunch, she said that she had already eaten and had to study for the rest of the day. We talked for about 15 minutes about the end of the semester, and our last test until I asked if she'd mind if I stopped by again later, and she was fine with that. I've been telling everyone my time-bomb analogy, nobody seems to like it but I think it fits well. And Saturday, I clipped a wire on the time bomb, and it did nothing. I'm just 2 days closer to the end now. But at least I found out that her last final is on May 15th, I have at least until then, to tell her how I feel about her, and why it doesn't matter because I'll never see her again anyways. And in my younger years, that would be reason enough to not talk to her again at all, but now... The last time I had a big crush, it lasted months, and tore me up pretty good until I finally confronted her and resolved it. And she was already seeing someone, but the closure was better than waiting longer. And with this, well I've already said, I'll never stop wondering if I don't tell her. And in all probability, she'll be surprised that I feel that way, and she won't, and it'll be just a very awkward moment. I've been there before, a few times, and I think I can take rejection one more time. This is just another famous case, I'm sure, of girls being much too friendly around available guys they're not interested in. It's like a one-armed bandit at the casino - there's a 9/10 chance you won't get anything, and one in a million that you actually win. But that small chance is enough to get at least a little excited when you pull the lever.
