on civic duty

[rivendellrose]

I was not dismissed.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen: yours truly will be one of fourteen men and women deciding the verdict in an actual criminal case here in the grand state of Washington.

I just hope this doesn't go any longer than they've said it would.

I also hope I can convince my campus job to let me work tomorrow, and a few hours in the evenings next week, maybe.

I hope not... at least my fellow jurors seem nice. My favorite guy on the group got dismissed, though, it was sad. We'd been sitting next to each other and smirking about every other person who was dismissed, because it was exactly who we'd expected. And then, bam, he's gone, too, and I'm left.

It was especially sad since he actually wanted to be on the jury, whereas I'd have preferred to go back to work.
