What do you make of this woman at my college?

I am currently a fourth year undergraduate student at Georgia State University with a declared major in psychology with the intent of going on to graduate school to pursue a doctoral degree in either neuroendocrinology or, perhaps, experimental psychology. That being said, last semester I was enrolled in an environmental psychology course where, seated not too far away from me (or at least, not all of the time) was a woman who I was very much attracted to ever since the start of the semester. Our first conversation took place about five or so minutes before our first exam that semester, in which she took the initiative in speaking to me. She disclosed to me that she had already graduated but was working toward a certificate so she could apply and gain admittance to an Masters in Public Health program. In retrospect, I think I came off as "eager-to-please", but we seemed to enjoy each others company. Her name was Jenny, she told me. We didn't really speak until the end of the semester, namely, the day of the final. (Prior to the final exam, however, I had caught her looking at me on more than one occasion, and she had glanced over, quite obviously, one day as I signed my name on the attendance sheet). As I was seated outside of the classroom with notes in lap, Jenny came over and stood over me. I looked up at her, said hello, and we chatted for roughly ten minutes. It turns out that she had been dishonest with me: it turned out that she was 28 years old, attended and graduated from Cal State- Northridge where she majored in English, obtained a 2.8 GPA, got rejected from every MPH program she applied to, and enrolled at GSU to pursue another B.A., this time in Sociology. She said she had been trying to figure out what my last name was; I told her that my father was Indian any my mother Spanish. Somewhat intrigued, she mentioned that she has family the world over (I suspect, just going by outward appearances, she was asian). Jenny then started talking about the multi-cultural babies her friends had and how beautiful they were. She said she hopes her husband will be multi-ethnic; she turned and looked at me in a flirtish way. The professor arrived; she sat on the opposite side of the class; we took our exams (I finished first). As I was talking with my friend Sarah on the ground floor of the building, Jenny came walking down and wished me a happy summer. That was that. Today, I saw her in the library, but was reluctant in speaking to her, given that she looked deep in concentration studying for a particular class. Now that I know where she studies, what would you advise?

1. are you askin a question or trying to write a book?
2. Meh.. move on. She lied to you right from the start and she's too old for you anyway. Besides, you're going to be too busy with your doctoral degree in either neuroendocrinology or experimental psychology to get involved with someone like her.
3. I would think that she likes you and wants to make Indian/Spanish/Asian babies with you. :) Go for it dude!
4. just go up and talk to her. Obviously she likes you or she wouldn't bother talking to you at all. Your thinking to much into it just go with the flow. however her not being honest with you really isn't a good sign...she could've lied because she was embarrassed. Maybe she thought you would think shes dumb or something you never know i mean you do seem like a very intelligent person some people become intimidated by that. Just go talk to her and in the future advice her to be honest with you always.
