The One Where I'm Sick Of My Relatives

I'm thinking of wearing one of these shirts to the next family gathering:

I just saw these people a month ago, and four months prior to that, and they keep asking me the same damn question, as if a month is going to change anything. What do they want me to say ... instead of "a year" it will be "Oh, 11 months, 2 days and 4 hours..." Is it an exact count they want? Are they senile? Do they like inflicting pressure on me? Did they think I was able to magically hire a pack of house elves to infiltrate my school's records and forge documents to make it seem I'm closer to graduating than I originally thought? I swear, if it weren't for the awesome bibinka or ginataan these relatives feed me...
