hey, can we talk?...

Mood: ironic

Hey, Grad School, how are you? Good? That's good. Sorry that's a lot of "goods". You look good, have you lost weight? Sorry for that other "good". Oh, man... Well ok here's the thing... I think we need a break. I know it's been really great for us lately. We've been together now for about 3 years. God, I mean, I was still a teenager when we first met! Anyway, yeah, I've done really well with you- straight A's, 4.0, good stuff. I haven't strayed or anything. I have been loyal to you, even more than I was with my undergrad classes (I may have cheated once in a while. But not without reason.  I just needed to feel better about myself and feel like I had control.).  We've had some good times and had a lot of great experiences.




See, I think we need to spend some time apart.  I just need some time to myself.  Time to grow and figure out my life.  I mean, I'm pretty lucky because I'm already halfway done with you; but I think it's time for me to grow up & get out there.  Maybe I'll be ready for you again soon.  I know you probably hate me right now, but you'll be ok.  I don't blame you for hating me.  I kind of deserve it, what with all this talk of abandoning you after investing all that time (and money) on you. 

I'm sorry, Grad School.  We'll talk again soon.


((i'm not really dropping out of school, just fyi. but i was thinking about it earlier today and decided to write out the break up speech i'd give to it... ya know, just in case))
