Yea dude get that Instrument ticket asap. Dont worry about actual time, worse case after you get your IR, if your not comfortable to fly in IMC conditions, than go up with an CFII one or two times until you are. Thats what I would do anyway. Speaking of which I'm about half way done with my Instrument training. Let me know if you are ever interested in splitting some flight time. I train out of KCRQ in san diego.
Good luck!
