Jury Duty Today

Today I go in for jury duty. It’s my first one ever. Sure, I have received summons a few times before, but I always had a reason I couldn’t make it. The first time, was when I was studying at UCI, the next time I was living in Japan, and the last time, I got a summons for Los Angeles County, but I was in Austin. Finally, I get to go! I am actually pretty excited, since I have never been. Plus (and it might sound cliche) it’s a citizen’s duty to serve in a courtroom. I heard there is a lot of waiting around, and I might not even get to sit on a jury, but I am still looking forward to going. The courthouse is only about 5 minutes away by car too. The only thing I have to decide on is if I take a book, DS, iPod, or a combination of the three.
