Alright Menewshians, here's what's going down.

I'm an avid DnD player (Dungeons and Dragons) and while it's arguable that what I do isn't "real" DnD, that's a whole other debate.

The point is there's a large varying distance between my DM (Dungeon Master) and I, so quite often we resort to playing this game over MSN, because that's the only way we can get together on a consistent basis.

Now I'm heading off to College soon, and a very demanding program awaits me. To put it simply, I averaged out my time spent at school last year to being 10 hours a day, 6 days a week and this is the second, final and most demanding year of the program.

I may always have Sundays off, but it's Saturday or Sunday that my friend gets together with his other friends. Chances of us being online at the same time are slim to none throughout the year. I won't be getting time off during the week, and if for some freak of nature reason I do, he won't be online anyway because he doesn't get up until noon so he can get ready for work, and doesn't get back from work until 10:30 pm.

I have to be in bed at a decent time else-wise I'm cranky (using nice words about it XD) and again, my program is very physically and mentally demanding. A good night's rest is key for survival.

All this leads up to my problem. I'm online every night, nice and late, and every morning, nice and early, practically begging him to play this game with me so we can finish it off before school. No matter how I explain the situation, now matter how much I talk to him about it, he just doesn't seem to realize that I'm going to gone. GONE for eight months, and not only do I want to play, but I want to be able to talk and spend as much time with him and my other friends as possible. I'm a very home sick prone girl, I'm trying so hard to be civil about this but he's always "too tired" or "doesn't feel like it" or "busy writing other things".

I don't like being ignored, I don't think I'm asking too much for just these last couple of days before I'm gone, and I don't know what else I can do.

help?
