An early Christmas gift

Guess who’s getting the Southern Cross/Mospeada Double Pack DVD set for Christmas!

Mom bought it for me at Best Buy since she couldn’t think of something to get for me on her own, so she told me to pick out what I’d want for Christmas. I’m surprised she actually got it for me, too. Thanks, Mom!

I’m not too sure what’s going to happen during Christmas week. It’s usually a chill time for me with the family and friends, but this week, I have jury duty. Out of all of the weeks, why this one?

I actually had to negotiate with the courts because this particular on-call lasted for a whole month instead of a week and they wanted me to do it during summer school. I had to fax over an explanation telling them that I was unable to do so and requested for a week-long on-call term rather than a month-long term. After some talks back and forth, I was able to get a week in December. Unfortunately, the only time I could do it was the last full week of December. Hopefully if I do get called in, it’s early on within the week rather than later on. Let’s just hope!

Is there anything for Christmas that you’re looking forward to in particular, whether it be being with family, certain gifts, or exclusive events?

    Thank you, Chun! I despise going to jury duty lol -_-Definitely take some days off. This is the first time in a while that I’ve actually had a vacation since I decided to take summer school this year T__T

    @Lene: Aww, nice get! I remember when “Mospeada” used to be part of “Robotech”, haha… Ahh yes, jury duty. Even if u do get called in, I hope u quickly get eliminated from the jury selection and get to go home, lol… I once accompanied my ex to jury selection, and it was hilarious seeing the judge eliminate dozens of people one-by-one for the smallest even craziest excuses. Some crazy people! Normal people are selected, after all. Including my ex. But no worries. Luckily, the theft case was hilarious and quick, lol. ^_~

    I hope so too, Jay! So far, I haven’t actually been called into jury selection since my number’s never been called. Let’s just hope that it’ll happen again in this instance T____TAnd yes! Mospeada! I flipped out when I saw it at Best Buy. I’m so excited to watch it during my winter break! :)
