Monday night, the clock reads 10:59 as Evans- ville freshman Wendy Woosley nervously paces around her room anticipating the ringing of her telephone. Her boyfriend Greg Hessler, an Ev- ansville freshman at Purdue, is scheduled to call at 11:00. Each Monday they take turns calling one another to keep this long distance love go- ing. They also write each other long letters. Absence makes the heart grow fonder e or so they say. Ac- cording to Greg, his heart has definitely grown fonder for Wendy. In a long distance relationship you need to have a lot of trust. When asked if she trusted Greg, Wendy replied. ltl trust Greg; its the girls at Purdue I worry about? Being away from one another puts a lot of strain on their rela- tionship. There are a few more fights and a few more doubts than there used to be. Of course, there are also the memories they both have to keep in their hearts to remind them of the person so far away. Frustration sets in all too often when she realizes it will be another month until she sees him next. lllt gets lonely on the weekends when my friends are going out on dates and I realize that I could be going out too, if only Greg wasnlt at Purdue? Being apart seems to make the times they do talk and see each other all that much more special and treasured. llBeing away from each other for so long makes Greg and I realize how much we love and need each other. 27
