Dear Chemistry,
These past few months you have turned into something I never thought you'd be from the moment we met, and I have to say, I am not a very big fan of it. When we first met, you seemed so interesting and cool, and I really started to like you a lot...however, the more time has gone by, the more you have left me terribly confused.
I understand that this is not just on your part, it's on me too. I'll admit, there were a few dates I missed that I probably could have easily shown up to, but back then I had other things on my mind and it didn't really occur to me that if I would have actually gone and paid more attention to you, I might have had the chance to get to know you and like you a lot better before I grew bored. Unfortunately, I cannot change the past, which is why things have turned out to be how they are now.
Don't get me wrong, I truly do wish we could work this out, but after seven months I honestly don't see that happening at this point. Although it would be nice to understand you once in a while, my mind and my heart have moved onto bigger and better things and to be honest you're really just not a part of that anymore. It's almost as if I've outgrown you, and I feel that I continue to outgrow you more and more every day seeing as my mind drifts away from you more each day.
Even though I'm sure you can probably see that it's already started to happen, I thought I should just come right out and say it-I think it's time we part our separate ways. There's just not the same spark there was in the beginning anymore and I highly doubt things will ever go back to the way they used to be. I would really like it if we could continue to be friends though, I mean I guess I could put a little more effort into getting to know you and understand you, but I honestly do not think I could ever fully put my heart into it.
Please know that I'm very sorry, and don't feel offended if I forget you one day-that's the same path I've taken with nearly every science subject the past few years.
Love,
Claire Bear
I really find this post funny, because I haven't taking our chemistry class. We did a unit of it Freshman year in General Science. I found it very difficult and had to understand. When we would watch the videos it would be hard to stay awake. Over all very nice blog post!
ReplyDeleteI noticed that your breakup letter was to chemistry, and it instantly caught my attention. I hate chemistry too. At the beginning of the year, I paid more attention, but now I have just lost interest. I loved how you connected these two, and made chemistry seem like a logical thing to breakup with. Great blog post!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw you were writing about chemistry my first thought ha I took global. I can relate to you so much when I was trying to decide if I should take global science or chemistry I just thought chemistry would be very hard because I suck at math and it has a lot to with math so I didn't take chemistry.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post! It was really creative of you to be "breaking up" with chemistry. I wish I could do the same. Chemistry looked like it would be a super fun class to take. I mean, you get to do labs and see chemicals explode, right? Just kidding, you spend about 1/4 of the class in the lab, and when you are in the lab the experiments aren't fun at all. Definitely not what I was expecting. Although we did get to make some pretty cool slime!
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I feel the same way about Chemistry because I haven't taken the class yet. Actually my schedule was so hectic this year that I never got out into a science class at all. Which is very disappointing because next year I will have to take two science classes! I'm not looking forward to Chemistry at all, due to the things I hear fro my friends. It doesn't sound very exciting. I also find my self drifting off during classes this time of the school year. I look outside and that's where I want to be, not stuck in a desk for eight hours. Just like everyone else I'm sure wants Summer to be here like NOW. :) I look forward to reading your next blog post! Keep up the good work. :)
