You need to have some quiet time with just yourself. You really need to figure out where the faults are and how deep they are. This has been a really hard 6 months for you and you may believe today that it is love but it may be more of a dependance and companionship than love.
It is a really smart idea to take a break and unlike ross and rachael, when on a break you can and should see some other people, date several and see how it is on the other side again and then see if you two have a place in your worlds for each other.
You have to remember, in life it should be:
1: you
2:school
3:family\friends
4:dating
when you graduate,those priorities will change but for now you need to take care of you and school.
Pm me later and let me know how you do,
