Girl Troubles or Over-active-anxious-imagination Troubles

[phallelujah]

EDIT: I just got off the phone with her and, as I suspected during a brief moment of sanity, she's very busy prepping the course that she'll be teaching this fall. Things are looking much more hopeful.
The beginning of this semester is going to be really REALLY strange and unpredictable. There are a host of uncertainties this time 'round but none

get a haircut and call her ;D (right away!) after all this worrying, you probably won't even feel THAT bad if she's drifted off somewhere over the summer, and i'm sure school will keep you busy if you let it

Being especially productive with school is a good idea! I think I'll add that to my list of coping strategies. I've been calling lately but getting an answering machine. That doesn't mean anything since McGill hasn't given me a phone number that she knows yet but I don't want to be one of those people that leaves more than one or two messages a day (and even that seems excessive). I'll keep trying though; at worst, closure would be helpful.

Thanks for the advice!

oh my - well, i hope that phonecall cleared things up for you two!

speaking from [very] limited experience, i've found that no matter the difficulty of communicating over geographic separation, ridiculously in-love people will find ways to express it across the distances. then again, maybe your love isn't ridiculous? [i'm a crazy artist, remember.] she sounds like a very down-to-earth person, and *especially* if she prefers face-to-face communication, i wouldn't worry too much about the lack of romantic expression through indirect means [although i agree that hints towards it would be reassuring..]

don't let it cramp your style - let her know you're still interested [yes, without being too clingy,] and leave the ball in her court. always be prepared to receive what she has to give you, but don't let it get in the way of your course work or other things in the meantime. [all the best on this one, whatever that may be..]

Thanks for your reply Sandra :)

The phone call made me feel better but a visit made me feel much much better. Down-to-Earth is a pretty good way to describe her even though she's an artist too so you're right: I have to remind myself to stay calm and learn to interpret her ways of showing affection and commitment (commitment being the more interminable variable considering our uncertain future at school).

It's tough to think clearly with all this. Thanks for all the advice.
