Better Late Than Never...

Oops, I didn't realize we had to post our observations on our blogs for today. I'll do that now...

I observed two girls on my floor for this assignment. It was on Sunday night, at about 8:00. Wearing workout clothes, their hair in ponytails, they were sitting and working on homework on a couch in the center of our hall in West AJ. I sat down across from them and started "typing on my laptop" while I observed them. The first thing I noted was that it seemed like the girls knew each other from other circumstances besides school because most of the 20 minutes or so that I observed them they were laughing and talking, not really paying attention to their work. Most of the time, the atmosphere was filled with their laughter except for the few brief periods of silence when they were writing or flipping through text books. They mostly talked about the football game, what they did the past weekend, and how much homework they had. The taller of the two girls made fun of the shorter girls tan lines and they each commented that they should go tanning together. They glanced at me, and after a brief awkward eye contact and even more awkward silence, they continued to talk and I got my things and headed back to my dorm.
