Visa and Jury Summons

I finally recieved my visa paperwork in the mail today. I will have it in the mail first thing tomorrow and I should have the visa back by Thursday.

The real fun part is that I have been summoned for jury duty three weeks into September. Something makes me think that I will have difficulty attending. I have no official government paperwork (in English) stating that I will be in China and they want official government paperwork to prove that I will not be in the US. I hope that some photocopies of Chinese script will be effective in convincing the government to exempt me!

Other than that everything is well. I am just counting the days.
