Am I the only one who thinks this conversation has taken a Seinfeld-esque turn?

For the record, I haven't had any negative reactions from people when I say I'm going to law school, nor have I had any negative reactions about the fact that I got a full ride. And I'm more than a bit sensitive to those types of reactions, so I can safely say I would have noticed. Perhaps it has to do with the manner in which it is said?
