Last Minute Wraps

Dear Readers:

As most of you know, starting Tuesday morning (very, very morning - getting up at 4:30 am, to be exact), I will be in China for three weeks. I don't know if there will be anymore updates before I leave, so if not, I want to take this time to say adios! and that I'll be looking forward to seeing most of you again come September (with armloads of presents from overseas).

Since this may very well be my last post for a while, I want to give some of you readers out there closure on my summer. As you can all tell from my various entries, Sachin and I have become really tight and have shared many an interesting adventure. I will definitely miss him a lot, but as he reminds me - he is just a Chinatown bus away!

Recently, we have also gone to trial on a very big case. Our client was charged with APO (assault on a police officer - more specifically, a US marshal), and this was Anya's first jury trial. The closing arguments will be delivered tomorrow (Monday), and hopefully I will be able to report back to you with a verdict and a blow-by-blow of what unfolded during the trial. It is my hope that if our client is acquitted, I will no longer be (unfairly) known as the "narc" amongst some of you.

Also, much love to Casey Cohen for being a great friend during the summer, giggling and gossiping together behind everybody's backs. Remember, Casey: Ben may be married, but in our hearts, he will always belong to us.


Casey's last day...you rule, girl!

And as for my Hopkinites, I miss you all so very much. I can't wait to see you guys again, and I'm sure senior year will be a blast.

Lastly, thank you all for your loyal and generous support! Although most of the stuff I write is for myself, knowing that you guys are out there reading and loving this stuff really means so much to me. If I ever end up writing that critically-acclaimed novel, you all will be the first group of people I thank in the acknowledgments section. And if not, I'll take you all out for cheeseburgers and sundaes:)

Lots of Love and Hugs,
Amy
