Has anyone filed a missing person report yet?

This is probably the longest I've gone without posting in the past few months. Miss me?

I barely had a time to sit down and think of something to write this week. Which is a surprise, for a quite narcissistic person like yours truly. A bunch of things have happened, some were fun and some were...well, nerve-wrecking.

The fun ones included Ejannz visiting me, of course. I mentioned she'd come in the last love list. It felt so surreal. It's not my first blogger meet-up, but it's definitely the first time ever a blogger friend, from a different country nonetheless, visited me. She stayed here from Monday until Thursday morning. I was pretty nervous all Sunday night : what's she like in real life? She seems really smart, would she feel like she's talking to a turnip? Would she like me? Would she think I'm cute? Where does babies come from?

My nervousness didn't stay long though. You know if you like someone's blog and if that someone, in real life, turns out to be exactly the way he or she's portrayed in the blog, there's a huge chance you'll love them more? Real life Ejannz is exactly, if not more awesome, than bloggy Ejannz. We shopped a lot, tried restaurants, hung out with the lovely Nitia, watched beerpong competition ( in which my boys lost ) , and shopped some more. Oh, she also sampled the taste of Jakarta's traffic. I think I impressed her with my driving skill and the way I avoid crashing motorcycles, buses, and other cars cutting my way all of a sudden. Or the way I can make a u-turn pretty much everywhere as long as there's no cops in sight.

Me, Ejannz, and Nitia having girlie time

I had a lot of fun showing her around. But then she had to go back home and reality poked me hard on the ribs when I received a certain phone call.

A certain phone call, for a certain internship's written test.

I can't divulge much info, again. But this time it's not just a regular written test from just some place I have applied to. It's a written test for my dream law firm EVER. Ever since I entered law school and got introduced to prestigious law firms in the city, the name of this particular law firm stood at the top. It's one of the first tier ones that you have to probably sacrifice your skin and bone to get in. I remember heading to its office a few weeks ago with an application letter, trembling from head to toe. Feeling smaller and smaller as the elevator went up. Slightly breathless when all these vibrant, smart and professional looking lawyers rushed past me with their laptops and fancy papers. Oh, to be one of those peeps.

But then I got that call.

"Miss Andhari Sidharta, this is ____, ______ & Partners. We're calling to schedule a written test with you tomorrow evening on 6 pm for our internship program..."

That's all I heard because I slumped down the floor. Speechless. All I remember was going to a book store a few hours afterward and went crazy on Capital Market books.

The test went pretty good. I almost ran out of time so my second answer might not be as complete as the first one ( it was a 2 cases-analysis, first one is mandatory ) but overall, they made sense. There were 19 other people with me there, staring at each other intimidatingly. It was so tense, I was pretty sure at one point we almost smacked each other with our laptops.

Wish me luck, pretty please? It's my dreaaaaaaaam. All those "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" wont be so easy to incorporate here.
