Lol! this is so typical Eastern European. Like something my dad would say if he read this thread.
Talking about my dad, he is very disappointed that I did not get into Columbia University . I got into a fairly good program in the US, but my dad, who lives in Eastern Europe and went totally bankrupt while I was in college, thinks it is not good enough. The rest of my family thinks I am a loser, because I am still in school and do not have a baby.
