our civic duty.

At least, I think that is what the juror video said today. I call, bullshit. 

I understand and respect the process but I think, if I am putting myself through school in order to get an education to build to the "greatness" of our society, I should be exempt. 

Four painful hours and nine dismissals later (there are only ten total), I was still in the juror box bordering a nervous breakdown attempting to think how I could possibly miss an entire week of classes.

Then, "we thank and excuse Miss Potter."

I have never been so pleased. Ever.
