one of the things i find most annoying is a lack of tact.

so ure going to grad school, and you would like to speak to bunch of pple before you start just so ure not totally lost lost and can  not be alone alone. so you have someone to talk to during orientation, so its not so awkard when you have those group activity things to do, so you have someone to go out to lunch with, so you have someone to explore the new city with, so you can basically make a friend.

but the first thing pple do is ask : did u get the visa? how are you doing with the loans or are u just rich? accompanied with a HAHAHA. wat a question to ask, and wats with the hahaha. wats so funny, weirdo. then the next question have u resigned yet or are u still working. and then an after thought, what do u do btw. ok is it just me or are the questions lacking serious chronological order.

after i was bombarded with all the above questions, of which i answered all as i would to any short-answers-only test, i got an ok - hey catch you later, bye. information extracted, obtained and absorbed and now bye.
