Other Intern: What school do you go to?
Me: I go to Michigan.
Other Intern: Oh! But where are you from?
Me: Yeah I'm from Michigan.
Other Intern: Ohh. What made you come out to San Francisco?
Me: Well, I'm getting married next year...this is usually followed by some variation of exclamation like ooo, awww, whoa!, or for one girl, screaming...and my fiance is a computer engineer so the jobs he wants are all in the Silicon Valley area. Plus, we both thought it would be fun to experience something new since we've both always lived in Michigan.
Other Intern: So where is he working now?
Me: Well he's actually in Boston right now, interning for Qualcomm.
Other Intern: Oh wow. You guys are far apart. Are you getting married here or in Michigan?
Me: Umm, neither, we're getting married in North Carolina on the beach.
Other Intern: Ohh...
At this point they just look at me and smile with a slightly dumbfounded look on their face. I think I've had this conversation 20 times in the past 3 days (usually with girls). Oh well, I'm fine being the intern from Michigan whose fiance is in Boston and is getting married next year in North Carolina :)
This is way too funny!
