Exciting new times

Howdy. It's seemed like forever since I've posted a new blog. And many-a-thing has been rocking my boat since last time.

Jury Service was excellent. It was exciting to sit inside a real jury box and listen to evidence. It was scary to think that our 12 decisions could affect someones life overall. I got onto 2 cases. I was very lucky to see two extremely different type of case. One was for sexual abuse between a father and his daughter(very distressing) and another was GBH. In all, I felt I learnt something new in all of them and taught myself to expand my decision making and to be more assertive.
Funnily enough, the first day I was bricking myself with fear that I would not know anyone and know what to do. Everyone was friendly and we all got £5.50 dinner card a day for hot meals and drinks. About half an hour into the first day. I spotted someone. She looked really familiar. It was only my old best friend/next door neighbour. I was sooo happy. We hadnt seen each other in a long time and she didnt recognise me at first. But in all, those 2 weeks (off work tehehe) and learning to be a juror was one of the most exciting things i've ever done and i'm glad I got the chance to go through with it.

Furthermore, I've been working alot of my shorthand. But I need to keep pushing myself. It's like another language and i'm getting really frustrated with it because I feel like I'm not getting anywhere with it. But keep going emma. you'll get there :)

Plus. I went to see Josh last weekend. It was lovely just to chill out and my mom and nick went to prague for a few days so I was responsible for the woggies. Getting up at 7am every morning to walk the little critters was not the highlight of my week off. But exciting.

NEW THINGS TO COME.
