Guitar worries

hmpfSo, I've decided to go with the tutorials recommended by one of our student research assistants, www.justinguitar.com, and so far it's pretty good,. The feeling of actually causing pleasant sounds to emerge from an instrument is amazing.
This is my first serious attempt at learning an instrument - the only instrument I learnt in childhood, (and pretty much only by default) was the recorder. (Why is this called "recorder" in English, btw? That's such a weird name for a kind of flute...) It was part of my school's standard fifth and sixth grade music classes. It's perhaps worth noting, though, that even though I did not love the instrument per se, I did love the ability to make music, and even tried composing a bit. Not that I got very far, mind you.
But now I'm worrying about what will happen when I go to America later this year. I won't be able to play for months... which probably means I'll forget everything again.
:-(
If everything works out, I'll probably leave in September.
