So, I got my passport after I applied a week earlier, and then I immediately bought my ticket to Sweden for December 6- January 4. I extending my vacation considering that I really don't see Alex very much, I can allow myself to miss school for him, how many opportunities do you get to go to Sweden. Alex and I are going to buy some tickets to Barcelona as well, since they are really cheap in Europe- so for about $325 per person we will spend 3 nights in Barcelona, Spain, within the old Gothic section in a nice hotel. I am very excited to practice my Spanish and be around the locals, the local shopping will be cool too, though I will not be looking for designer names haha. It will be great to be in Sweden as well, Alex and I will stay in his family's guest house, which includes a nice bedroom, living room, bathroom, and large kitchen. It will be surreal to live in a cottage on an island in Sweden for a month, ugh, I just have to hang in there for 86 more days with school and work.

I finally got to talk to Alex, and before I even told him that I had the funds for my trip to Sweden he had confirmed that his family was okay with the idea. So now I just have to apply for my passport and hope it comes in time, and also of course buy a ticket! Everything must work out; I will be livid if I buy a ticket and my passport comes late- then I would fall into the deepest depression ever. It is nice to have a date to look forward to with him, that always makes the distance easier. Tomorrow or the next day I will go to the library and apply, I have to make sure I get two passport photos beforehand, and a booklet for my passport. I have something else to do, tomorrow preferably, which is getting my car insurance and title forwarded to me. I'll update later.

So from what I understand Alex is still in the air, but soon to be landing. I am a little better now- I will feel a lot better though when I get to talk to him again, but that won't be tonight since he will be extremely tired. Earlier him and I spoke about me perhaps going to Sweden over Christmas, and I checked all my funds and it seems possible! I need to talk it over with him and he and his family, but it looks very definite that I will go. What I need though is a passport and a job; the money I do have may not be the same due to the fact that I have a car. I'll make it all work though! The dates I am looking at are December 18- Jan 4, maybe longer if I can afford it! You can send me donations if you please =P
Things are looking up! I will update when I get news from him...

So today was quite a day, but not one that I would want to relive, at least not the end of it. This afternoon I woke up with my boyfriend, Alex, knowing of the doom to come when I would have to take him to the airport. It wasn't an easy task, due to the fact that his home is over 4000 miles away in Sweden! We ate, I cried, so we went into my room and played cards for a while, and then took him to the airport at about 6 pm. He got called to his flight and we hugged and kissed- then I had to let go and walk away, he yelled "I love you" as I neared the exit, and all I could do was turn around and mouth it or else I would have sobbed. I got to my car and just cried until I got home. It was definitely the hardest and most dramatic day of my life, you'd think I was going through a breakup with how I am coping. At the moment I am just here in my room, trying to get used to being alone for the first time in a month. It's so weird even to see my toothbrush by itself.
What started out as a conversation on a language learning website over a year ago has become so much more. It's really amazing, I would have never expected it if I was told this would all happen in advance. Things will be ok though in time; this won't be the last time I will see him.
