My Observation

     I decided to observe the most interesting and social community of people on the BSU campus: the people on the second floor of the Maxwell Library. Well, in actuality, they were not very interesting. They weren't very social either. In fact, none of the people I observed even acknowleged the existence of anyone else. They were probably looking for a quiet place to study before class. Why else would they be on the second floor of the library at 10:30 in the morning? There were nine people in total, six being female and three being male. Two had earphones, one was doing nothing, one was on her laptop, and five had various papers and books. They sat in comfy chairs that were arranged in four clusters of four seats. They sit in a variety of ways from two feet on the ground to both feet on the table and everything in between. Its kind of funny to watch them move subconsciously. They all have their little quirks. Some rest their faces on a fist, others repeatedly touch their ears or noses, and still others rest their foreheads in their hands. I hope I don't have to do much more of this in the future, because ovserving poeple and taking notes about them feels weird.

  1. It doesn't seem like any of the groups of people that sit around in any area of the campus are interesting at all. Nobody ever knows each so there always silent. Atleast no one noticed you were watching them then things would have really gotten weird.
