Observation 1

Today I started my observations for my CRJ and I choose to observe the Paradox cafe /commons in the Halle Library. When i went in I just sat down at a table, pulled out my journal and just observed my surroundings. I got there at 6:15pm and I stayed until 7:30pm. There were 6 booths being used and each one had about 1 to 2 people sitting there either doing homework, talking, eating or on their laptops. There were people walking in and out, ad there was only one cashier behind the counter. She was brewing coffee I guess they ran out. It was very quiet and people who were talkig kept their voices to a minimun. There was a older crowd there tonight, assuming they take night classes or they were just studying. "SEEUS" came in escoring 2 people, I think they were scared to walk across campus alone since it was dark. A group of three people walked in very loud, but nobody paid them any attention.. I think they are use to distractions so they just tuned them out. The older adults were ordering Coffees and Latte's and the younger adults were buying Pop chips. They probably was getting ready to go do some homework and just need a boost.

-6:15- 7:30pm

Ummm???

I need some more ideas as to where would be good to do my observation.

My Spots to observe.

Kristen,
I think that I would like to observe the 3 floor computer lab in Pray Harrold, because im there alot and I see some of the same people almost everyday.

Or I though about observing a nail shop because i get my nails done often and that is a field of work im looking to go into possibly..

What do you think would be a good spot?
