When you are 23, single and just out of school that is often the most exclusive and frightening question you are attacked with. With time you develop your defenses and have at your disposal a ready response to shut off the questioners.
But yesterday I discovered that the weapon is not quite exclusively designed to attack and knock the sails out off the aforementioned category of persons. It is a universal irritant that can be employed against anyone by anyone at anytime.
I was exhausted after manfully defending against it for the last few days. Then in front of my eyes and to my astonishment, it was directed at my six-year old cousin !!! "So what's your plan for the summer ??" Poor chap - he replied earnestly after much thought - swimming in the pool, playing computer games - but that was simply not a good enough defense !! A more detailed explanation was demanded of the nature of the computer games - why and which and what else ??
Take a chill pill people !!!

In your case at least.. you are done with grad school, but what do you say when you are 23, single and about to go to grad school with a totally unknown future, and the one asking the question is a visa officer :)
Well said!!
