This is... weird and difficult.
In a years time, I'll be going off to university, with the original and final plan of Sheffield. Sounds simple enough really. However, my mum recently has decided she wants to move over to Cyprus where my aunt and uncle are when I go off to university. So I can go with them or stay here. It seems like a great oppurtunity, learn Greek, go to a sunny country and study a subject I love with the best part of my family close by. Unfortunately, it's not so simple. I have a boyfriend here in England. A guy I've been best friends with for years, and we've been through a lot together. I truly and honestly love him. But he won't leave his family.
It's a stupidly difficult and unfair choice. I'd be leaving my family if I stay here. I love the university I've basically chosen to go to. Greek is difficult to learn. If I go, I leave him behind. AND I'm expected to make this decision whilst doing A2 levels. Does anyone sense the slightest bit of injustice?
One of the teachers I respect the most at school told me I should stay. But I don't know how easy it would be to be so far away from my mother, I'd lose one of the few people I can talk to about anything. And the only time I've spent more than 1 week away from her was when I went to America when I was little, and I had my nan then... so I don't really know what to do. It's hard to really think about it clearly. If he would go with me and the course were decent, I'd be gone in a heartbeat. There's nothing else here for me. But that one, impossible tie to England makes this decision the hardest one I've ever made. It worries me that something might go wrong, and I'd be left with no-one, but the situation would be the same for him if he moved with me, the difference being that his parents would probably be able to fly him back quicker and it'f be easier to start taking up a course back in England, than for me to try and quick-learn Greek and start taking one up in the middle of Cyprus.
*Sigh* I just don't know what to do.
