"Normal" Questions

Its finally graduation week. So ready for it. :) These past few weeks I have been asked two specific questions a ka-zillion times! It usually goes like this, "So are you excited about graduating?" Me-"No I am so depressed about it, I really wanted to stay in school for another 7 years." *Sarcastic face* Okay, yeah that's usually not what I reply with...its more along the lines of, "Yes, very excited." I know boooooring. But what do they expect me to say?!? Haha I know people are just inquiring about me and graduation but it is funny how everyone ask the same thing. The next question comes without fail. Every. Single. Time. I'm sure you know it, because you've probably asked it. "Soooo, whats next?"

At first, I had a good answer to this question but I guess my brain has heard it so many times it just lets it come through and out now without doing much work to answer it. I'm sure some people make think I'm leading into a useless life because they don't realize the plans I have. The problem is I don't have it set in stone exactly what I will be doing...I mean I know I just don't know. Its complicated. And instead of trying to explain to them which usually leads to a bunch of more questions I answer the best I can and move on.



So, yes, I am VERY excited about graduation and yes I do know whats next but I don't exactly know to tell you yet. :) I was talking to a friend today on the phone and they asked me the same questions jokingly because they know how many times I've been asked that and they replied saying that they are just the "normal" questions everyone ask a graduate. I suppose its true. The more I got to think about it there are "normal" questions like that for all special occasions, like having a baby, getting married, dying. Well I don't know about dying...but that is a special occasion! So I suppose the "normal" questions are just beginning! Yay for monotonous!! :P
