New to LDRs

So, this guy and I have been seeing each other for a bit over a month, and the other day we made it official that we were in a relationship. We go to high school together in Ontario, Canada (it has dorms for international students), and I'm from around here, and he's from Tunisia.

Now I have to deal with having him go home for Christmas, and having a 6 hour time difference and an entire ocean between us. We plan to skype and call each other pretty regularly, and I'm wondering if any of you can give suggestions for how to make this all easier, as he'll be gone for 2 weeks (not that long if a time period overall, but we've also just started dating really, so it's still hard)
