just my luck...

i've been selected for jury duty...

(reminds me of how getting old ISN'T everything; i knew that all along, but then again, maybe i needed to be reminded)

why can't the ucdavis winter break be a whole week, instead of a partial wed-fri and another partial mon-wed?

now i have to decide whether to postpone some finals, or miss a few classes.

utter bull...

although, i know it's not exactly set in stone, as the lawyers have to decide whether i'm partial or impartial, or ish like that, plus i have to consider what the case issue is. etc.

great... i hope this is not like "the runaway jury," where some hired agent followed me all the way to davis to find out exactly who i am, thus deciding i'd be a good choice for a jury.

and i hope, even if i'm selected, that the subject is something so blatantly easy for me to decide for myself, that i'd never even choose the other side.

although, every person has a chance to make a difference in this world at different times; maybe missing 1-2 classes isn't that bad after all; i preach being impartial myself too; maybe this is my chance to see whether i live up to what i think.

can someone who's been on jury duty enlighten me on the specs? is it like "12 angry men" where they have to be all or nothing?
