You do know that the right thing to do is to attend classes regardless of a broken heart. Unfortunately your heart won't do the "logical" thing ... you have to at least "go through the motions" of class even if you're not at your best.
When I was applying for medical school I was seriously dating this girl from Peru. She was studying in the US and was planning to stay but then a family problem forced her to go back to Lima. I was "this close" to dropping my medical career entirely and get a quick engineering degree so I could move to South America to be with her. But she dumped me (the reason is a longer story) before I could get that plan off the ground. In hindsight it was a stupid thing to do but at the time it seemed like I had no choice.
In your case don't let your feelings control your actions. It's OK to feel hurt and shitty - but let it happen and still do what you have to do. Don't sit around and stew. Let your brain drag your body over to class so you can have a future. Infatuations and relationships come and go ... but dropping the ball when it comes to your studies and future career can be irreparable.
Life is all about joy and hurt - but the trick is to accept that fact and keep in motion despite it all.
