I hate it already. I didn't sleep at all on the plane because I'm so stressed. I don't think I'm going to make it this quarter I just feel incredibly homesick (and girlfriend-sick)
It's 130 here and I got up at about 10 AM saturday, caught my plane at midnight and just got back to my dorm about an hour ago. I'm beat.
I know somebody else must have felt like I do now, I mean, how do I cope with this? I have no reason to do anything right now, I am completely unmotivated to do anything but curl up in my bed and cry.
Other than being away from your girlfriend, what stresses you out? Is it your course load? If so, remember to schedule one easy class for each hard one you take. Try and take classes that you actually LIKE?
Does your girlfriend have email? AIM? How about your parents? Let your folks know you need some encouragement from time to time. Moms are GREAT for sending things like a box of home made cookies. Trust me that works wonders on morale.

Well I have a very full load. The only classes that I need that fit as a schedule are difficult classes except physics which will be super easy. I have 3 labs out of 4 classes. I was stressing and still am over every little thing possible. I was worrying about my desk being neat and my bed being made and how I had to shower in the shitty bathrooms.
It was really stupid for me to be stressing over all this and I think it will be fine once I'm done with this first week of classes and get drowned in homework because that will take my mind off of everything.
I talk to my girlfriend everyday on MSN and/or briefly on the phone (phone cards are awesome.) And my mom sent me here with cookies and sent cookies twice last quarter. My mom is good like that, I almost have her convinced to send something home-cooked like chicken enchiladas or something vaccuum sealed and packed in dry ice. (Her enchiladas are heaven)

Easy solution: Get another girlfriend at school. So now you would have 2, one back home and one at school. You would look forward to being both places.
While that MIGHT work for some people, not for me. This girl is perfect. I figured that if it lasted long distance for one year, which it has so far and will, it was meant to be. I'm not saying it wasn't without its bumps, but this is the kind of girl the kind of guy like me will marry.
