Observation 3

So While I went in to Observe I thought it was goin to be extrememly boring because when I walked in it was onky at the max 5 people sitting around. Then I thought that it was be ok becasue I was goin to focus on charateristics, But i was fooled Only about 10 mintues into my observation 11 extra people walked in. Once I looked at the clock I realized class was probably letting out, or the people that didnt have class were coming for lunch. Before all that there was one guy sitting in a booth all along reading from a text book and taking notes. My first thought was getting work done so he doesnt have any to do over the weekend, orhe was gettign caught up.

When that whole group of 11 people came in most of them went and got , soup sandwiches and a drink, I figured Using up meal plans before the weekend, maybe they were going home top visit. One out of the 11 people had the hiccups, they were very loud and someone turned to her to ask her why she hadnt drunk any water, I was thinking the samething but it wasnt my place to ask her. I wonder if that lady that asked knew who she was.... The older lady sitting in front in me had glasses greying hair a red coat and she was wearing a yellow scarf that was "dora the explorer" to accent, Myfist mind said she has kids and she was wearing thier scarf, and I was right she was talking with a gentleman about her kids, She never specified what age they were though.

Everyone that was around the environment was is groups no larger than 4 but no less than 2, Coming to the commons to relax and getting a piece of mind would not be uncommon, since half the people were just talking and eating. They seemed to have listened to each other well and for those who were studying you have to be a good listener to learn. I noticed that I saw the exact same girl from last week in there again,she must hang out here often, I also saw this guy's mother I went to school with, She just got coffee and left, probably on her way to class.

Some little odds and ends that i also noticed was that the recycle bin was overflowing so that means it probably has been really busy, there was snoeflakes hanging from the ceilling, maybe if they take them down and out up spring items we'll get some spring weather. Lastly there was also a sign the stated "shoplifters will be prosecuted" that explains the camera I talked about from last week and I wonder do people steal from out of there and have they ever caught anyone.
