I'm still alive!

This is probably the longest I've gone without updates.

Life has been crazy for me lately, crazier than usual that is. A lot of things happen at the same time.

Last few weeks of school. Next Monday marks the last final ever (hopefully!) I have to take, then it's counting the days until I have to present my thesis to a board of professors and defend it before I finally graduate. Thank you law school, it's been awful. Kinda. I'd rather perform with a glittery peacock outfit a la Lady Gaga in front of 5000 audiences. What if they think I'm retarded? What if they laugh? My thesis is about DIVORCE, for G sake. It's practically the simplest subject. I should've known, I wrote it for that reason and finished it less than two months. Incomparable to my way smarter peers who wrote about say, bankruptcy or capital market policies with their long extensive researches.

Sure, I'd like to think working for a corporate law firm will educate me on those but whenever people there ask me what my thesis is about, I can't feel like a bigger douche.

Speaking of work, I still love it but recently I started to receive more. I no longer can sit around being lazy because I'm assigned to a few more difficult projects and have to answer to a few more people. I finally experienced going home at 2 am last Tuesday and didn't even realize it's already that late. I switched off my computer and noticed the hallway was already dark. The office was deserted, only a few rooms with people still working. I'm afraid of darkness, guys. I believe ghosts exist. I watched the original version of Shutter and my crazy mind kept repeating scary haunting scenarios that might happen if I had to ride the elevator down alone.

I couldn't even bother going to the bathroom when I needed to pee badly. I held it for hours, wiggled on my chair and in the car a lot. Too much info, yeah? I have to work on that, and probably stop watching Asian horror movies.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get myself some sleep. I NEED SLEEP. I don't think I've ever appreciated sleep before, or craved my bed badly. I went to a club last night because I had a gig ( stories and pictures later!) and before all the vodka kicked in, I was extremely sleepy at the point I needed to ask the bartender to make me a cup of coffee. He thought I was being cute. FML.

What's everyone been up to? What did I miss?

  1. Nic said...:

  1. Kizzy-online said...:

    I've missed you!

  1. Nashe^ said...:

    Glad to see you still healthy and purdy. My lawyer buddies work til like, 4AM and they're mostly too tired to do anything else.

  1. Gnetch said...:

    Holding your pee? That's so office-girl-y. I do that too when I'm rushing a medical report. Haha! Glad to hear from you again. :)

  1. You are def. on you way to become a hot shot lawyer now! Working loads and loads really is a life style isn't it?

  1. hannahkaty.com said...:

    Best,

    Hannah Katy

    I guess since you're going through a personal transformation, your blog's transformation will follow soon after. Maybe less updates and more well-chosen?

  1. Margarita said...:

    Omg, the trick to NOT getting WAY too much work is to ALWAYS look busy. Even if you're blogging or thinking of shopping - grab some paperwork and read it intensely. Otherwise I'll miss you too much ;)

  1. Skinny Dip said...:

    I love that photo! You're so pretty.

    I've been working like crazy too. Just finally catching up on reading blogs this weekend.

  1. Jordan said...:

    At least your not bored! When I'm busy I'm always thankful because laziness is a curse! and yes, get some sleep! Sleep is helpful!

    Have a great day!

  1. Lost Wanderer said...:

    LOL I'm also afraid of ghosts! I stop watching any horror movies since long time ago. Good luck with your final, and harder works. You can do it! ;)

  1. Gracie said...:

    Aww you must need sleep! Take care of yourself girly because all this tiredness isn't good for your body or health!

    And I don't watch scary movies because I have an active imagination...scary Asian horror movies won't help it at all.

  1. ScoMan said...:

    I knew this would happen. I knew work would consume your life and you'd forget about us =(

    What do people need jobs for anyway?

    Oh right. Bills and stuff. Yuck.

    Working til 2 am is crazy. I worked til 8:30pm one night and that was bad enough.

    But I'm more of a morning person. If I know I have stuff to do I'd rather get in early than stay back late.

  1. // krissy ♥ said...:

    Just a few more weeks to go, hang in there Ndee! But don't forget to take care of your health, too!

    Anyway, even with those sleepless nights, you're still so pretty sister! :)

  1. you missed me.

    and my wedding. and the ultimate divorce.

    kidding. well, not really.

  1. Lucy said...:

    You knew the time would come when you would be working like crazy, so liking it??? Probably has its ups and downs.
    It was good to catch up. Like you things are busy and I am trying to catch up with blog reading this weekend!!

  1. Heather said...:

    Why on earth are they keeping you until 2am??? Can you not take work home with you? That just seems wrong in so many ways

  1. Eva said...:

    I don't think your teachers are gonna laugh at you. They're professionals and you can be positive they've heard a lot of weird stuff before! Everything is going to be alright! You just have to look convinced of what you say and confident. Don't hesitate or look insecure. If they point out something is wrong you can always go "Is that what I said? I meant..." and rephrase yourself. Teachers are human, they do make mistakes, too! :-)

  1. I am sure you'll do fine with your thesis presentation! And if it makes you feel more confident, maybe you should dress up like lady gaga.... It'd be distracting to them and before they knew it you'd be done! It's an excellent ploy. Good luck with it all!

  1. cute picture :] i'm sure your thesis presentation will be great, don't stress about it. you're almost done!! and you have a killer job! now go get some serious sleep ♥

  1. Ugh. Sorry I cannot hold my bladder. Which is bad because I've been drinking A LOT of water lately. No fun.

    Glad to see you back around, I've missed you!

  1. drollgirl said...:

    working til 2am?!?!? ACK!!! be careful! i hope it is safe there! that is TOO LATE TO WORK!!! please be careful!!!

    and i hope the last final + thesis thingie both go well. countdown! you must be tired and excited and ready for the next phase of your life! WHEE!!!

  1. sssdawna said...:

    sounds like you've been having fun! i need to have more of that...fun...i'm trying to remember what it's like. LOL i can't imagine how horribly stressful law school is (or medical or graduate in general) but i've been reading blogs on the subject since i'm debating on going next year o_O that honestly must be cool, though, to be at work and not even realize how much time has flown by.

  1. P said...:

    You worked until 2am??? DUDE. STOP THAT!!!

  1. cassey said...:

    I say working till 2am makes up for what you think about your thesis.

  1. Magpie said...:

    Don't run yourself down Andi! Look after yourself, you sound like you're burning yourself out. :(

  1. Kim said...:

    I was wondering where you've been and what's been up with you.

    Good luck on all the school stuff!

  1. life happens babe, it's ok :)

    welcome back!

  1. Sheri said...:

    I'm sure you will do amazing on the final and the thesis. It will be the best divorce topic thesis.ever. :)

    As for ghosts and darkness, well I'm with ya on that but I'm not (usually) scared. I used to hunt ghosts remember? lol What I used to do though was always cary some form of a protection around with me (clear quartz is good too) if you just wanted to add a little gem to your purse inside (nobody will ever know). :)

    Can't wait to hear how the gig went!

  1. Luana said...:

    I don't believe ghosts exist until I have to go to a bathroom on my own or down a long hallway! Haha so I totally get that, I would've done the same thing. I can't imagine working those crazy hours though!

  1. amindinmotown said...:

    Ah, I love when you talk about peeing. Lol.

  1. So good to hear from you! Things have been busy on my end but I cannot wait for this weekend to calm it down and relax. And the weather in Chicago is going to be perfect. I hope your schedule calms down :)

  1. carissajaded said...:

    Glad your still doing great, albeit busty as hell. Even you need a break sometimes!

  1. Carissa said...:

    I'm sure you'll do fabulously presenting your thesis, the same way you rock the stage! be proud of your work and sell it! :)

    and while I totally get the crazy work schedule-- though I do have the benefit of working from home and being in my pjs!-- it's nice that they are trusting you by giving you more work, projects, and responsibilities! sounds like you're moving on up in the lawyer world!

    but yes, you still need sleep. make sure you take care of yourself! I know I don't do that as well as I should sometimes, but a person can only work so much!

  1. MelRoXx said...:

    Go, and get some sleep! I can never do without rest! I took a 2 month long hiatus lately, thats the longest I've been without updates!

  1. saratogajean said...:

    Wowee - ghosts aren't going to keep ME out of the bathroom.

    You should pack a flashlight.

  1. Wonderful said...:

    Good luck defending your thesis!

  1. Tellie said...:

    Congrats on finishing up law school!!! Glad to have you back (not that I've been around blogworld much either, lol)

  1. Nikolett said...:

    I'm missing my Andhari so badly! They better stop giving you so much work! Holding in pee for so long = no good!

    But I really hope defending your thesis goes well ... when I did mine they asked questions too and I only ended up with a B (but it's a pass so ahh wells!), and I really hope it goes a-okay! Though you think you chose an 'easier' topic compared to something like bankruptcy, divorce is such an emotional level and it really deals with relationships - maybe emphasis that a little? I know you'll rock it!

  1. Johana Hill said...:

    And welcome to the professional life! It's worth it at the end of the month when you receive a fat paycheck! Hehehe...

    One word separated with 2 hyphens: work-o-holic

  1. ko0ty said...:

    I was at work pretty late one night and I was soo scared. Not to mention that my old cube has mirrors lined up against the walls because that's where the old gym use to be.

  1. *~Dani~* said...:

    I was wondering where you went. Work takes away from all of our blogging fun!! Sounds like you will be learning a lot at your internship so that is good! I would recommend staying away from Asian movies for sure. They freak me out and especially in a high rise at night. Yikes!

    How come I cannot write comments with this new template? I love it by the way!
