When I was in band camp...

I wonder if it's just me or if anyone else has noticed this. In casual conversation, people would sometimes say, "when I was in uni/college, this and that happened and blah blah blah."

But if the person speaking is a law/medic/artschool student, they wouldn't say that. They would say, "when I was in law school/med school/art school..." even if the choice of their studies have nothing to do with what follows in the sentence.

I wonder if they're just trained to say that, or if they think they're superior, or if they've worked so hard to get into those schools that they cannot contain themselves and must. tell. someone. omg gfjsdkfhskdflhs.

Ah. People.

In other news, work was stressful. And I'm currently cursing domain squatters.

Ah, I see. Yeah, I was wondering if it was a cultural thing that was making me see it differently. So in England you go straight into med/law school from college? Like, it's a seamless transition or the same institution or what? In the US, a lot of people go to college, but don't necessarily continue into graduate or law or med school. And most go to graduate programs at a university different than the one they went to for college.
