jury duty

November 04 2007

so i got summoned for a third time for jury duty. i sent my papers back in over fall break and told them the same thing just like i did the first two times that i couldnt do it cause i had school. well, they didnt care this time. so i have to go for the MONTHS of december and janurary. and thats only if i'm not on a trial that last longer than that.

 

so i may have to take a semester of off school. imagine missing all of janurary (i think i'm spelling that wrong. lol) and then having to go back to class. it would be impossible. they said i could request just a certain time period. but i dont want all of my christmas break to be tied up with jury duty. blah. but i guess if that keeps me from going to jail for skipping jury duty.

 

i cant decide if i wanna miss a semester or not. i really wanna travle, but that would take alot of money. i've always thought. it would be cool to go live with my bro and work down in florida somewhere. it would be a blast. but, he and his wife may not want me down there. lol. well, for like 3 months anyways.

Well if you have scholarships then skipping a semester wouldn't be a good idea. I think you really ought to appeal it again; they should not legally be able to interfere with your education like that. When Garrett had jury duty, they just made him come in for a couple of hours a day for a week after school was out.I guess you will have to do it over Christmas break, but it shouldn't last the whole break.

i have not been asked to do that yet... but there's a part of me that secretly wants too. but, unlike you, i don't have any major responsibilties. i agree with amy,, try to appeal it again. but if that doesn't work, hopefully they can be flexible. have a great night!
