I feel your pain cierah
Just started a relationship at the beginning of summer too, now about 4 hrs from my girlfiend, which wouldn't be to bad if either of had a car at the moment..
Its only been 3 days and already rdy to hop on a train up there to visit her.. ugh.
My suggestion is to invest in a phone plan that includes cheap/free long distance, thats something I really need to look into.
