It has come to that time of year.
The start of the academic year. People are excitedly laying out their notepads, (which they won't use much in the end) are devising systems of organisation (which then simply concludes as "put it all in a big pile") and are moving away to start new friendships.
This time of the month everyone is settled in. Not my girlfriend. She is going back to Cardiff tonight and, to be honest, I will miss her like crazy. When she left for her first year it was difficult, but this year I know what to expect. But do I?
I am already feeling rather low about it. The amount of time spent with her over the summer - nearly every day - will make it harder. It will be odd not having her just down the road, or next to me, or even knowing that I will see her later in the evening. You know everything will be ok, both for you, them and your relationship, but you still can't help worrying a little. No matter how many times you/others tell you "It'll be ok"
I know I will feel rather miserable for a bit, but I wondered if other people had special friends that were/have moving off to a new place for Uni?
I wondered whether they are in a similar glum mood. Or whether I'm just not taking it like a man.......
