Relativity

I should have been reading Dynamic Programming and Optimal Control when I somehow found myself reading this blog entry instead. It's interesting how the age when one begins to think in terms of “I probably shouldn’t still be single at my age” is all relative to his/her surrounding environment. She was 27 and only beginning to feel the pressure. While last time I was home my grandmother was already projecting her fear that I am going to end up like those girls that are in their mid 30’s and still single by relating all sorts of marriage/love/dating advice (don't ask!). Given that the majority of my friends are now married, my grandmother’s fear is somewhat justified, but at 22, I hardly consider myself an old maid, and I’m no where near the point of desperation where I’m ready to marry a man on the sole basis that he is a source of (Jewish) sperm and money (my grandmother’s idea of a perfect match).
