... pretty fine dust.

Wow, I can't stop crying. Here I was, making these huge plans to visit my SO in February for 6 weeks in between semesters at uni. I was going to be a good student and take work with me. Go to uni with him everyday (because he wouldn't have been off by then yet) and while he's going to his lectures, find a quiet place to do my papers. Come home in the afternoon and enjoy our time together. These plans were helping me get through 8,5 months of being apart. I was planning on flying out to Ghana on February 10th... exactly 6 months from today.

Therefore today, I wanted to start with the booking and all that jazz, because prices are still affordable and even lower than what I had been paying previous times. So I messaged a friend, who is doing a similar course at the same uni I will be going to in October to ask her if I could manage to leave a few days after the exams, or if I should wait another week just in case something comes up. According to her, it would be fine and I would easily pass all the exams in the first semester, BUT...
there is one problem: My african language course.
I will be learning an african language and there is a course during the semester and a follow-up course in between semesters, which I didn't know about, starting at the beginning of March.

I don't know what to do. I'm so upset right now. I really need to call the uni up and ask them about it. If it really starts at the beginning of March, I could still maybe get away with leaving right after the exams and staying for 2-3 weeks. If it starts even only a few days earlier I'm pretty much eff'd. Plus, it will be like this for the first few semesters. How am I supposed to do this ? We are already so limited when it comes to visits (once or twice a year, if we're lucky !) Going from spending 4-6 weeks together per visit to 2-3 is not helping.

Our next plans, would be to try and get a visa for him to visit me next summer. Chances seem so low, but we're staying positive. Even though all this positive thinking has made reality hit that little bit harder every time it has. I'm just going to try and calm down now. A few deep breaths. When I have, I'll think of a way to make all this possible.
