Things in the long distance are hard. When I first got together with my g/f she lived an hour and a half from me. I started driving a lot. Considering that we met right before my first year of college (a year and a half ago) I was moving away, as you have.
I live over 500 miles away from her now, an 8 hour drive if you speed on the freeway. The phone was our best friend, followed by the post and online chat. After a year and a half we are still very close - she is very strong, and over the time of being apart I've realized how much I want to be with her for the rest of my life. Large distances can do one of two things, through testing your resolve: it can break up the relationship or it can seal it.
An hour isnt a deathly distance, you do have weekends and 3-day weekends, so you wont be without her that much. My g/f and I won't be seeing each other until the last week of february, when she drives down here to visit for a week.
The rate your going, homesickness is the worst thing you will go through. Theres always a bit of g/f withdrawal when you first realize you wish they were there and they arent, but in the end, you are close enough that you can still see her on relative demand.
My apologies for this being so damn long.
