Whats going to happen to me at my arraignment?

When I was arrested I was just charged with Residential Burglary and my arraignment is tomorrow(3/10/09) and I was wondering what I'm looking at as far as consequences go under the first offenders act. Please explain if i'll be facing jail time or maybe probation.

Residential burglary is usually a serious charge so I doubt they are going to offer you probation or any kind of first offender's program. At the arraignment the charges against you are read and you can enter a plea. From the arraignment you have a right to a lawyer and one will be appointed if you can't afford to hire one yourself.
