how to break up with your class

"we need to talk. it's not me, it's you. i feel like you don't listen to anything i say. i feel like you're not invested in this relationship. you don't even try. i can't even remember the last time i felt appreciated. i just feel like you don't understand. i try so hard to make you see things, but you just can't. is there someone else? you stand me up at least once a week. this just isn't working out. in the beginning, we had so much fun. now it seems like you are just going through the motions. i feel like you aren't even paying attention. you're on your own now. i hope you're happy."

"...by the way, i faked every lecture."
