Aun't that an update?

Hello, friends!

I haven't posted in a while. I'm very busy at work because they decided they are going to make me work in another project: they haven't made me switch project, I'm actually working on two projects at the same time now... of course, I'm not getting any additional money on my paycheck for it. I might be able to work more overtime and use those extra hours to take some time off to visit my girlfriend at some point. Working 2 weeks of overtime is going to make me really tired, though. I'm already sleeping between 3 and 5 hours a day...

Anyway, here's some good news: as I mentioned in my previous post, my girlfriend is moving with her aunt soon (probably next week). I already listed some of the  good and the bad things, but I forgot to mention that this will mean reliable broadband internet for her. No more having to mess with 3G to get some decent signal! Besides chatting with me, she actually needs internet for college to do research and stuff (besides the fact that she might still pick an online college, but that's probably not going to happen).

Well, I think that's it for now. I'll try not to wait too long for another update!

Get outta here, the party is over

Hello, friends!

I was going to make a post about how glad I am that you guys have been commenting on my posts and letting me know what you thought about the things I wrote and answering my doubts concerning relationship stuff.

"Why?" you ask? Because the latest comment tally added up to 500 of them. YES! 500 comments.

So why the title and why am I not making the post just about that?
Well, my girlfriend is going to permanently move in with her aunt, who lives closer to places where my girlfriend could potentially get a job.
She will also start to attend classes at college (and it's probably not going to be an online college).

While I'm very happy for her, this means she won't be able to visit. So even if she defeats her phobia of airports, she won't be flying to me any time soon.
As you know if you read previous posts, I can't visit her either, because I just switched jobs and I won't have vacations for quite a while (basically, a whole year).

It's very difficult thinking that I won't be able to see her for that long.

Decisions

Hello friends!

Thanks for all the comments in the previous post. For those of you that mentioned Uberman, I don't think that would work for a very long time. Besides, I have work and I can't stop every so and so minutes to take a nap and skipping naps is bad for that kind of program.

Now, for today's post I was thinking about how decisions affect a couple and how those decisions are even more important when distance is part of the equation.
I have a job that's not paying me as much as it should right now. I'm sure that I could get a better paying job if I looked for one. The problem is that if I switched jobs now I wouldn't get vacations this year. No vacations means no time to visit my girlfriend. More money means it's easier to buy a plane ticket. So, it's not an easy decision.
Another decision she has to take now is where she'll go to college. Going to college in the US means that, depending on what kind of courses of studies she goes for, she'll be staying in the US for 2 to 6 years. She could technically transfer her credits to a university over here, but that's always very complicated. She could study here, but she doesn't speak the language yet, so she wouldn't be able to start right away. Also, over here we have free university (free public university, that is), whereas in the US it is very expensive (even getting a scholarship you always have to pay something).
Ideally, I'd want her to move over here, but that's practically impossible at the moment. I would move over there, but I wouldn't be legally able to work. So for the time being we have to remain separated.

I'd like to read from you now. What's the toughest decision you had to take in a relationship?

I'm waiting for my girlfriend to get online now. I'm staying awake tonight!
