I had driven 1.5 hours at one point because I lived in the middle of nowhere... I now drive an hour (because of traffic at the time of my appointment. it would be about 35 minutes otherwise)...
I think somtimes the fit is more important than the distance if you can find a way to make the distance work. It sounds like you have found a good T that you click with. If it's only for 5 months anyway, it may be worth the effort.
