Many of my students live in a different Universe (Multiverse). I often have this conversation.
Me: Hello X! You've done well in the exam. What are your plans for your future?
X: Ma'm I am going to Carnegie Mellon.
Me: That's excellent. Have they given you any aid? or fee waiver?
X: I'll get that ma'm..no problem.
Me: Good! So, when are you leaving?

Me: Oh.......
