Hi, I've spent the majority of my life in a country in the south pacific. My parents are American, I am American. We left after the completion of my junior year of high school, quite unexpectedly I might add, and I was forced to say goodbye to my friends and start from scratch.

I'm a senior now, and have been working multiple jobs to earn the money to take a trip back to see all my friends before a lot of them go back to their home countries (I went to an international bording school). I have almost enough cash and just need to work out the formalities of staying with a friends families and getting permission from the school board there. I am planning on leaving two weeks before my one week spring break so as to have a solid 3 weeks there as less wouldn't be long enough, and also not worth the cost of $3000 which I have killed myself to earn.

It will be odd as my old girlfriend will be there, we have known each other for years, but were only a couple our junior year, we never broke up, but also agreed to not do the long distance thing, so I guess we are on hold, or not even that because we are not going to be in the same location for the begining of college, I guess we are apart, but not like "I don't want to be with you" but more like "you can go with someone else if you want because we are not together but if we could be again then that would be cool"

She's really focused on her studies and is going to be a music major in college in California. I am in Oregon, and I was planning on going down there for college but I simply don't have the money. I am going to go to a community college here and also go through a paramedic course and hopefully that will allow me to support myself through the rest of my college life and on.

Needless to say I have plenty of other friends there also and it will be a great trip if I can pull it off. It is a beautiful country and I can go to all my favorite places one last time. I just hope that everything works out ok.

I guess my question would be since I am only going to be there for 3 weeks, how should a approach my girlfriend? I mean, we are close enough friends that we can just do normal friend stuff, but I am just wondering if I should bring up relationship stuff or not.

It's weird because we were/are both totally serious about being together, but she was also open about needing to buckle down on her studies the next few years, and she also told me she knew that I loved her, but for my own good that maybe I look for someone else becuase she is going to be so focussed on other things that I might be to lonely. I told her that that was rediculous and that I'd be fine with being on hold until after all that. Needless to say we email regularly, and while we are open, we don't talk about that type of stuff to much because we are avoiding long distance relational stuff. Anyways, like I said I don't know if I should bring any of this up on the trip, thanks for the help.
