This Thursay was a liitle different than what I was expecting it to be. As you all may know this Thursday hapended to be Valentines Day. So me being the freshman that I am having all the memories of how grade school used to look on V-Day, I expected to see flowers, candy aand balloons everywhere I looked. However, it wasn't like that at all. when I came down stairs to go to class....nothing. When I actually got to class....nothing. So when time came for me to go to the student center, I just knew that I was going to see flowers, balloons, the whole works. But again to my suprise.....NOTHING.
It was actually quite boring and dead in the student center thursday. There was a couple sitting at the tables here and there., but nothing to exciting to report this week.
Even though there was nothing to observe this week, I did learn something about college that is way different from high school. People do not make a big deal out of Valentines Day around here. SHOCKING!!!

week 2: EMU Starbucks area
so i get here and I sit at a table. The first thing I notice sitting one table down from me is am male with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. he's chewing on what seems to be a stick from what once was a lollipop, while fidgiting with his silver razor stlye phone. "Pryor" he calls a loud, "what's going on." I'm guessing this guy Pryor was a buddy of his. He's wearing a letter jacket so I assume he plays some kind of sport fo the school. With the jacket he wears dark blue jeans faded in yellow in the middle. His friend walks over and joins him with a taco bell bag in hand. He had a lot in the bag so I guessed he bought enough for the both of them, but to my suprise it was all for him. "man this guy eats alot", I thought to my-self.
In the far corner sits a group of about five to seven people. they all have on htese burgendy-ish colored shirts with white writing on the front. the writing read "el club de espanol." Now I don't know much spanish but i think anyone could tell that they were the spanish club. I am guessing that they meet over there in that area every Thursady at seven o' clock pm.
Over to the left sits, what I think is safe to say, a couple. I mean unless brothers and sisters gaze into each others eyes lovingly and hold hands now a days those two were definatly a couple. The girl has her hair in a ponytail wit a gold head band and a brown hoodie with a black shirt underneath and blue jeans and white gym shoes. Her boyfriend is wearing a brown colored jacket with a tan hodie underneath and blue jaens with and black shoes. He's tapping his foot continuously as if he was nervouse or something. If he was nervous, It's not because it's there first date or something because judging from their wardrobe they have been together for a while.
Meanwhile, in walks a tall dark and handsome man with Will Smith ears.He joins the guy wearing the letrer jacket. Tall dark and handsome is wearing a gray-ish sweater that fit him all too well with dark blue jeans and black shoes. He smelled good too. He's sipping on a Tazo tea. Next to the tea sits his gray spint phone. Now just from the way he sits I would guess that he is a professor or something of that sort. But then I hear bits and pieces of the conversation and my assumption changes. At first it sounds like they're talking about lifting weights and tall dark adn handsome is telling letter jacket how he should be lifting, so I think he's a trainer. Then I heard him say " when I look at your situation."So I thought he was a therapist of some sort. Well what ever he was he knew what he was talking about.
Behind me where the four chairs are placed in a circle with a coffee table in the center sits a male on his laptop. He is wearing a black sweater with a silver chain that has two dog tags attached to it . from the look of the dog tags I would assume that he was from the navy or army or...something. he looks to be doing some homework, but maybe he's just on facebook. I mean isn't everyone these days.
The girl of the couple walks over to Starbucks and orders a grande caramel latte. Her boyfrind orders a viente machiato. The girlfriend gets her drink and takes a sip. the server asks her is everything okay? she says......yes every thing is fine. "shoot", I thought to my-self, I was really hoping for some drama. But oh well. Her boyfriend gets his drink and they walk off in to the sunset and live happily ever after....or do they???
Finally, when I thought there was nohting else to report something terrible and grotesque happens right in front of me. So this group of people are in front of but one guy in particular is worh me talking about.He is tall wearing a brown hat and a gray sweatshirt with the word army goin across it in gold and silver colors. With this he wears black sweatpants and black shoes. He has a dr. pepper in his hand that he is sipping on and chewing gum. I know your thinking, well what happened thats so terrible and grotesque. Well as this man is talking in mi sentence in front of everyone he scratches his......MANHOOD. Now I didn't mean to lok down there but he was just scratching as if no one was around. GORTESQUE!!! what a way to end my night of observing.

Week 1: EMU Student Center Starbucks area
I finally chose the perfect place where I want to complete my observations. EMU Student Center Sarbucks area.
I began my observing this area Tuesday, January 29. I found on that first day that a coffe shop is very busy. Especially among busy sleep deprived collge students. There is also alot of trafiic in that area alone. So my findings for the next couple of weeks should be quite interesting ones.....
