learn to "roll with the punches"

After a few days of suspense, I got an email notification that I haven't progressed into the second round of my summer clerkship interview.

So here's the reality check.

- I'm still going to the Vis Moot. And now I have more time to devote to it.
- I'm still going to find a PLT placement some time after March.
- I might do an LLM in international arbitration depending on how I do in the moot.
- I might have time for a baby.

I think positivism is really important in times like this. I have to admit that I did an okay job in dealing with rejection. And I was blessed with so much support along the way.

My friends really went out of their way to help me. I just wish that I will have an opportunity to repay their kindness down the track.

Future plan for now is: get up, keep going and keep cool.
