Jury Duty

So after not checking my mailbox for a while, I opened it up to discover that a.) my suite mates had left their combo in the mailbox, and b.) I’ve been summoned for jury duty. Ironically, I’ve had a high minded, “its my civic duty” approach to jury duty–except, the date, may 27th, is getting close to the end of the quarter, and I really would not want to miss class. So I’m wondering if anyone else has had past experience with this. Should I call and register now or closer to the date? Does it matter? Btw, I’m registered to vote here in LA even though I’m from the Bay Area. I always thought students were exempt from these things…any input from past experience would be appreciated.
