[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]what should ivy league grads do to dispell sterotypes, act stupid? [/i]

Ivy League grads--

So, what should I talk about to you at a party so that you won't think I'm not smart enough for you and get bored with me?  My federal job in the government, which I like, but you would probably find dull? (I'm not an attorney, but in an administrative job supporting attorneys.not paralegal)  The dogs my daughter and I are considering getting for her?  My favorite sitcoms or restaurants?  The Chick-Lit book I am reading?  My scheduled vacations for the summer?  The show that we will see at Glen Echo this weekend?  My love of exercise and the outdoors.

Or would it be better if I tryed to discuss the presidential campaign, world relations, how to save the environment, etc.

I'm not being sarcastic.  But, I AM intimidated by Ivy League types because I think I might bore them...Sad, I know.

I have two Ivy League degrees, and I talk about the same stuff at parties that you listed. Why would any normal adult have trouble talking with you about vacations and children and weekend activities? 
This is why I also mention the cities where I got my degrees rather than the schools. It is really tiresome to have people be weird about where I went to school twenty odd years ago, and to judge me based not on my actions, but on their insecurities.[/quote]
