 Trust me on this one, year 9 is really not that big a deal - it might seem like it now, but in a couple of weeks your boyfriend will realise that *shock* year 9 is just the same as year 7 & 8, only with some "proper" exams at the end. He will still be on MSN (if he's anything like me - I was on MSN for hours at night when I was in year 9 and still did well.) The most important thing is don't worry, and if he doesn't go on MSN that much then as yummymummy says, just send him little things to know you're thinking of him.
Hope this helps x

Can he get on MSN for an hour a night? Talk on the phone 2 or 3 times a week? Can you swap emails rather then chat in IM?
I have been in a long distance relationship for a few years and it is hard when both parties cant be in contact much. While I had a tough time with college coursework and my other half was working 12 hour shifts we were lucky if we got to speak at weekends.
It is hard not hearing from your other half, but there will be breaks in the school year. And at least he has been honest now about how little he will be able to chat and not just left it so that you worry about why he isn't chatting to you.
Send him emails with what you have been doing when you are at school or whatever. Send him cute ecards to let him know you're still there supporting him through his tough time with his school work. Even if you email him and you then chat on MSN it doesn't matter :)
At points you will feel like you are drifting apart especially if you have been in contact lots over the summer. Share your concerns with your guy. I kept all my feelings bottled up while me and my partner were going through our lack of speaking phase and it was nearly the end of us when it all came out.
Good luck hunni!
xxxxxxx
