Breaking up is hard to do

Dear Fall Semester,

Wow, this is tough. I’m not even sure where to start. Well, things have been crazy lately. We’ve both been busy, and that’s put a strain on what we have. I think we’re just…different. A lot has gone on over the last 4 months. Hard to believe it’s been that long!

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I don’t know if we can go any further. It just…doesn’t feel right.

Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had some great times. It’s been one heck of a journey for use, from start of term to final papers. But now, well, I think this is it.

I know, I know. This isn’t easy for me, either. But a new year is coming up soon, and I don’t think that I can keep living in the past (except when I’m writing checks. I have a hard time with that. Literally writing checks, by the way).

No, we did have some good times. Some great times. In the end, though, you’re just demanding too much. I can’t keep giving and giving after final grades are turned in. I need my own space, some room to breathe.

No, no. No more. I’ve said what I need to say. What? Well, that’s hurtful. Yeah, based on your reaction, I think that you’ve got some growing up to do. Maybe we both do. No, don’t call me. No. No. It’s over. Yes, I know. No. Okay, you know what? That’s it. I think we need to stop talking. Oh. Well. To hell with you too, then. Yeah. Right. Bye.
