So... I'm leaving for China for 2 years in June. My boyfriend and I will be CD for 5 weeks before I leave, and that will be the longest we've been together thus far.

I'm TOTALLY stressing about this. I don't really know why. I generally don't worry about things til they are right about to happen but I feel like the thought of being apart so long is killing me. I hate it. I know it is making me moody, and that sucks cuz then I will not be as nice to him when we get to talk... idk.

We're going to make it. I know this. It will be totally worth it!!!
i just need to find a way to stop stressing and not ruin the couple months I have left in the States.

Anyways, also not helpful: Originally it looked like I would be able to get a 1 year contract, but they are only offering 2 year contracts. He originally told his friends one year cuz that's what we thought. Well, he was telling me that he was with his friends the other day and they asked how long I would be gone, and he said 2 years, and his friends said "Oh, then you will never make it." REALLY???
He thought it was funny, so he told me. Needless to say I was not laughing... lol poor boyfriend...

I am so lucky to be dating such a wonderful guy! He makes me happier than I ever imagined possible. I am looking forward to my experience in China as I've been wanting to do this for over 10 years! I am also looking forward to closing the distance for good. Time goes by so fast...it won't be too much longer. But sometimes it just feels like forever.

If anybody reads this hopefully you're not rolling your eyes and dying of boredom!!! It helped to just be able to type it all out instead of keeping it bottled up and stressing more.
