Week 3
This week
instead of trying to focus on the conversations of socialize hall, I decided to
look for some patterns that I have noticed these past couple of weeks.
First, the
times people prefer to go. Whenever its early afternoon on a nice day it seems like
the only athletes here are the ones that prefer to actually get their work done
and out of the way. There are less people in at these times which cause fewer
distractions for some people. Whenever it gets closer to night time is when
everyone who wants to socialize chooses to go. These people don’t even attempt
to take out any work because they know they won’t be able to get anything done.
Second, the
cliques. When at socialize or dead hall, no one ever wants to be alone. You
either go with someone you know, or don’t go at all. No, not really. But
majority of the time the athletes that are in the same room together are
usually on the same team. This is not always the case, but it has been a reoccurring
thing. People are always more comfortable when around other people they already
know which is probably why people have such a hard time getting any work done
because they are surround by friends.
Finally,
the weather. It was very rainy this week and there were of course not a lot of
people there when I went just like when it was gloomy last week. When the
weather was sunny however, there were so many athletes the place was as packed
as a sold out concert. Not sure if the hot and cold weather plays an important role
in the attendance of people that decide to come, but it has so far.
The biggest
thing that I noticed this week was the way each team tends to claim a room as
their own. One person may start out in a room, but their team will always find and
come and join them. And they definitely make sure to let everyone know that
they are on each others team.
