So finally, my boyfriend, J, went to Australia to do his Ph.D. last Saturday, and in the 7 years that we have been together, this is the first time we are being separated indefinitely.
We were both used to being away from each other even when were “together” due to our different commitments — most of the time I was the one staying back because I had to take care of the terrapins on campus, and trust me when I say it is very labour-intensive when dealing with live animals. And J was the one traveling all over the place for assignments, projects, leisure dives, etc.
So will there be changes to my life now that a part of me is in a country so many hours away? You bet!
I will probably be a workaholic now that I am not obligated to be home for dinner with anybody. I will probably even work on weekends because nobody’s going to know if I don’t tell :up:
Anyway, now that he’s in Australia, I am even more determined to work on my own application to do my Ph.D. Not that I haven’t been working on it, some things just take longer to materialize :D
Awwww… how long will he be away for?
3.5 years, Rinnah. Is that “long”? LOL.
Don’t be sad, ya? I promise to
followtag along to Australia to visit Bro. J with you, OK? Deal!Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.

But do not do what Romeo and Juliet did! Get your PhD.
I really know what you are going through, cos I have been in that same position before. Well, absence DOES make the hear grow fonder, and maybe it is a great reason/excuse for you to go to OZ-land! :)
Far away, but in your hearts, both of you will be close.
There’s off course, skype… :)
Ah, he left on time so you can help me out.
Say, you sound more natural writing like this.
7 years is a long time…strong enough to withstand any distance!
I remember that we’ve promised we’ll see each other every 6 months, no? Three years is a long time but it is something that I must do now or never, and I am waiting for you to come over and join me.
Take care, dear.
Love.
your hearts no far away…if it is that is the problem..but physical distance not a problem for true…
