jury duty

so for the past 2 days, i've had to go in for jury duty. initially, i was like...dang it! monday morning, i got up at 745...745am!!! got ready and walked to the building i was assigned to. when i got there, there was some introductory stuff we had to do, then we turned in our summons and waited to get picked. nothing came in in the morning...so all i ended up doing was sleep...hahaha. then we had a lunch break, since i lived close enough, i came home. went back for the afternoon, and the afternoon was pretty much the same as the morning. except this time, i had my cousin christina keeping me company =] a case came in late that day, so they werent able to pick out jurors so they let us out early.

so this morning, i got up a bit late...had to rush to the jury room. as soon as i got in, they started calling out names of jurors that were to be questioned. my name got called! so i went out and followed the court officer. at the court room, we got sworn in, and gave a narrative answer to questions on a questionnaire. then the lawyers presented their case...we went back out and waited, then came back in and they selected. i didnt get picked. so back to the giant waiting room...had lunch break...came back, but my name wasn't drawn so no im free from jury duty for the next 6 years. but honestly, after going through all this, i kinda wished i got picked..i wanted to see what it was like in the court room and stuff..but i guess i'll have to wait for another 6 years...
