 Update time, I suppose!

Early this week I had Jury, one of those experiences everyone should be forced to go through at some point. Things start off in a room with approximately 100 or 150 people waiting for their juror number to be called. You will normally spend two to three hours there waiting for a case to decide weather they will have a jury or have a judge decide. Once you are given a case you will be given the tame frame for it to be finished; this can range from 1 day to 7 days... baring no illnesses or time conflicts. If you were to assume this wouldn't take longer than a simple hand raise, how wrong you would be... During my case it took around an hour to complete. After removing all possible candidates for time issues, both the prosecution and defense determine weather or not you can treat everyone fairly. This took around 5 hours.... 5 hours of hearing the same question reworded and asked again and again.... The only redeeming part of the night came from the mouth of one of the jurors. He made it his goal to be the first removed from the trial by relating all of the question to baseball. Here is an example: "How do you feel about witnesses using drugs?"... "Well... it's just like :insert fake baseball player's name:, he kept saying he would quit drugs. But he said that 10 different times and never managed to remain clean for more than a year. Its because of that I have a hard time believing drug users."

In the end, I was removed from the trial.

Note: You can be removed from a trial for knowing to much. In this case, a phycologist from PCC knew to much about judging a person body language. She was the third out of 47 to be removed.

Onto school...

God I can't wait to go back...  I miss learning, seeing my friends on a daily basis and swimming :)

I still need to buy induction pots... so if anyone has a few spares, I'll buy them off you.

Now for video games...

Warhammer Online Open beta starts in a few hours... so I'm excited. But I've gotten sick of having my characters deleted for each phase of beta testing. I understand that it is required, but if my shaman from Preview Weekend Plus isn't carried over to Open beta... I will be sad.

Workish...

For the past week I've been painting my house. We now have about 1 day left of work on the house.

The house is being painted a light green color with a dark brown trim.

I also applied for a tech support position at OSU.

Relationships...

Not a lot going on in my personal life, mostly because I've been keeping myself dead until school starts.

I'm gonna get some sleep now!

I won't be checking my grammar or spelling... since chrome doesn't seem to be checking it for me.
