Eerrr it looks like pronounced with a strong american accent :-)
The "j" is too soft, the "r" is not rolled , the second "e" is pronounced as
a diphtong but should have only one short sound (monophtong) as in "pet" and
the "z" should sound as English "th" as in "truth", not as "s"
This one is closer (yet the jota is not hard enough)

It's easy to understand why English had dropped "Jerez" for "Sherry" :-)

The (English) guys on TV seem to pronounce it "hereth"... don't know how
close that is to what it should be (no sound on this PC).

It is 1 week today since I last heard from her. I sent her an email on
saturday, but she hasn't answered.
Oh well, I guess that's the end of that then... :'{

It's very possible she's got other things going on in her life - don't
give up yet....

That she has other things going on in her life is completely beyond
question. (She just spent a week in some random country on a few hours'
notice from her employer for example.)
That *I* am an extremely low priority amoung those things seems somewhat
irrefutable also, sadly...

Well, a lower priority, perhaps, than making a living. These things
happen, don't let them discourage you.
Remember: DON'T ASSUME.

That may be one big problem of yours: You give up too easily.
You have been depressed by too many failures and you have a pessimistic
attitude towards such things and thus you immediately assume the worse.
I know. I have been there. Heck, I *am* there.

Perhaps.
These things all come down to a reasonable sense of balance.
On the one hand, if you give up too easily you never get anywhere. On
the other hand, you don't want to let somebody string you along forever.
Need to draw the line somewhere.
I haven't completely given up on this one yet, but it's not looking good...

Well, I finally managed to get back in contact. My joy was short-lived
though. Apparently in "the next month or so" she's moving house to a
place many hours' drive from here.
I feel sick. Physically.
Life is just so violently unfair. The ONLY thing I want in this world is
to have a girlfriend. And no matter what I do, this goal remains
completely unattainable.
I feel so miserable right now...
