Jury Duty Approaches
Well, my new jury summons finally came in the mail. The New York County Division of Jurors has asked me to appear in late august to serve as a juror. I had been called back in May during my exams and I requested one of those handy automatic postponements for after the end of my internship.
I'm not exactly sure what to expect from it. My dad has been called several times and usually gets dismissed because he is a lawyer, but he has had to serve on a trial once. I, however, and quite different from my father, since I am currently a student, I'm a bit of a political activist (including being a card carrying member of the ACLU,) and I am rather young. I don't know what they will think of my shoulder length pony tail either. Well, it will be an adventure that is for sure.
I'll make a full post on HP&DH as soon as I have had a chance to really pull my thoughts about it together. There is a lot going on in this latest and last volume, as those who have read it will know, so it isn't exactly easy to formulate a solid opinion about all of it right away.
In other news, I have decided to start biking to and from work (don't worry, I am going the long way home to get some exercise, not just biking 4 blocks each way.) It is slightly more challenging to ride a bike in NYC than it was in Cambridge, since there is a traffic light at every intersection here. But that is what the bike paths on each side of the island are for, right?
Well, we are coming to the end of July, which means that the first rays of school will be rising in the east soon. I hope that everyone is having a relaxing summer. I know that I am sure enjoying it.
