Heh, I was getting a haircut the day after I finally decided on MIT. My barber knew that I would be going to college in the fall, so she asked me if I had decided yet. I was so excited from the day before that I blurted out "Yes, I'm going to MIT!", and then realized that it sounded like I was bragging about it and braced myself for an awkward moment. Her response? "Oh, where's that?". :-)

(She then said that I shouldn't go to school so far from home, because I wouldn't have any friends as a freshman and I would want to come home all the time).
