Pinstripe Pressed and Ready, But Am I?

[It all happened really fast. As I was walking home this afternoon after my first Ethics class, John called me on Le Cell Phone to tell me I'd been called in to interview tomorrow at Maybe-It's-My-Dream Internship. There's been so much else going on, I haven't had time to be nervous. Until now.]

[I haven't worn a suit to a job interview since 1999. In 34 years, I've NEVER interviewed for a job that actually might lead to a career. I have no idea what they're going to want me to say. What "me" am I supposed to be: erudite, charming, loose-and-fun, serious, a blank slate? I can do any of those, but which?]

[I better sleep tonight, or someone's gonna get hurt.]
