one thing you have to realize that this is a great oppertunity that not very many people get the chance to do, ya it seems like a long time but having a good outlook on things would be a good start,
i know it must suck being away from friends, family and a special lady friend but if you really love her and she loves you then you both will get that one year apart and long and how bad as that seems will end up not being such a terrible thing when you look at the grand sceme of things. i can kinda relate i also have a long distance relationship with my girl while i am on an internship, i know its not 3000 miles away but i still deal with the same problems as you, she knows that for me this is a great oppertunity and since i believe shes the one for me she knows that 9 months away from her will almost be nothing compared to the years with her to come....
if you can i would see if its possible to go home for a week or 2 that would probably help some but like i said it might not be possible, or if possible try to get a friend or your girl to come visit you, i know its spendy and hard but it is an option,
most of all i would try to enjoy the time you have and sure if it comes down to it, go home, theres no reason to lose it all for this,
quick summary
-keep an open mind to everything
-see if theres any other options to seeing friends back home
-keep you spirits high
-try to think about the long term rather than right now
-finally, if everything else fails make a rational decision on what you belive is right to do
best of luck to you and your relationship
