Not decided yet just what I'll wear - but it's got to be something restrained and "business-like"... I'm going to spend some time tomorrow working on it with my mom, as she's always so great with that kind of stuff. How about this tuxedo look? Yes I'm sure she has one just like it...

Well, everything went OK today...
I was really nervous as I sat outside the court, waiting for my turn to go in, but I had my mom, dad, brother & b/f there with me, which helped a lot. Eventually, the time came, and I had to go in for the actual hearing. I'm sure that, like me, you've seen stuff like that loads of times on TV shows and in movies, but it really does feel so strange actually being a part of it yourself - quite unreal, really!
Anyway, they went through all the routine legal stuff, and then my lawyer asked for a continuance, as he said he would, so that he could work on sorting out a deal for me. As the prosecution had no objections, the judge granted it, and so that was the end of the hearing - it took about five minutes in all!!.... Now, my lawyer has six weeks to meet with the prosecution before the next hearing, which will be on October 2nd. That's when the judge will (hopefully) sign off on whatever deal I get - although I don't need to be there in person at that one.

I'm happy that part is over now. Me too, hun!!! Now I know I'm clear to fly back to the UK to start my new course... After we were done in court, I did have a chat with my lawyer about the deal he was hoping to get for me. It's not brilliant, but I can live with it and it allows me to do what I want to do, so I've OK'd it - now we've just got to see if it's accepted by the prosecution and the judge... (I know you're probably all wanting to know all about it, but I can't say anything about the details until the judge signs off on it! )

I'm probably making it sound like a much worse deal than it really is, as it's actually quite good in most respects...

Good one, Chia! I was looking around for a pic of Evan Jo in a trouser suit, but I couldn't find one.
