I think you'll be fine. With the internet and cell phones today, you'll be connected even when you're not together. Do you know how many people met from different countries and fell in love online? I point that out because you can keep up as best you can by constant contact -- web cams, etc Not perfect but at least you'll feel like he's there.

You can keep the spark going for a few months while you finish your education then end up together in the end.
