I live in an Asian country. I've won a scholarship worth 50000 USD per year for four years that will allow me to read Mathematics&CS at the University of Oxford! Also, I am now in a romantic relationship that I've wanted for quite some time now. I'm having one heck of a great month. That being said, the relationship and the going abroad thing aren't going to go very well together, but I'm sure I'll manage somehow.
Is that "I'm sure I'll manage somehow" because thinking about the problem is uncomfortable so you're brain is creating a comforting excuse, or because you've known yourself to solve similarly difficult problems in the past? I ask because you don't want to get burnt later if it's the former, and I've personally had experiences (read: problems) with a long distance relationship.
