Sitting the mohag room is the perfect time to complete the assignment on observations. It doesn't exactly compare to people watching in New York City, but it's the closest we'll get here on Sacred Heart's campus. Quickly, you realize the lack of diversity on campus. Generalizing, people seem to be of the middle to upper class. When zoning in on 5 specific people, I tried to notice differences without drawing inaccurate conclusions.
Person #1: Immediately the girl's neon green shirt sitting across from me caught my eye. That shirt could possibly be the new work outfits for construction workers. You cannot be missed in that shirt!
Person #2: There's a boy sitting at a table with 5 girls. He's just sitting back and enjoying being social. This kid must have some sort of game! Or maybe he sat down being uninvited? Interesting.
Person #3: A professor is sitting down behind me. It's rare professors choose to get work done in the mohag, but I enjoy seeing them in here. His eyes are fixed on his computer screen, probably finishing up his lesson before he heads over to teach his class. And to think only students saved work for the last minute!
Person #4: This person has decided that wearing an Oakland Raiders football hat is socially acceptable after they failed to put up a winning percentage over 500% this year. I won't make fun of him too much because the gray hat matches his gray shirt nicely. He does know style and I give him credit on his matching. Knowing football might be a different story..
Person #5: Oh man, I just made awkward eye contact while scouting this person out. Oh well, little does this person know they're getting blogged about right now. As he does makes his trips from table to table, I can make the inference that he's pretty popular. I see this kid around a lot and, once again, he's wearing Sacred Heart apparel. Either he got a nice gift card to the school bookstore, or he has lots of school pride. I appreciate when kids have school pride and wear the SHU logo around.
