| No, seriously, I can see why this is a question. I feel like I'm bragging even if someone sees my A+ paper by accident! So, (as a kid at an international school) this is how the conversation usually happens.
Someone: What are you going to do next year?
Me: Um, I'm going to uni in the States.
Someone: Really? Where?
Me: New England.
[usually people are unfamiliar enough with US geography/colleges that they think I've just given them a legit answer. Sadly, some people push it.]
Someone: Where?
Me:... um, (mumble mumble mumble) Harvard...
My dad's already bought me a Harvard hoodie, but I only wore it once so far, when I went in to school just for my one-to-one German oral with my teacher. And THAT was only because she thinks I'm stupid so... I really was bragging in that situation. |
