Boring

Today is a cooler day, not too cold, but the winds are making it a lot colder than it really is. I sit down near an exit with my friend and we begin observing the premises straight away.

I see a young man in a brown shirt sitting near our table. He is reading a book, he looks to be of Mexican heritage and has his back pack beside him. He isn't wearing a sweater or jacket of any sort, and  I don't see one on his chair. He doesn't have a hot drink either. He is just sitting and reading.

I notice a young man of about 20 sitting behind our table. He has a black shirt on with a white design. I can't make it out properly, but I'm assuming it was a band t-shirt. He looked to be of caucasian descent. He was writing in a notebook and reading out of a text book. He would run his hands through his hair often, he looked fairly stressed.

My gaze scoped out a young lady in a light blue jogging sweater. She wore glasses and her hair was blonde and very long. She wore jeans and black flats. Her hands were in her pockets as she waited in line to order.

I see a woman with short brown hair, I've seen her here before, once. She is wearing a purple sweater and jeans with UGG boots. She is holding her larger jacket on her arm while sipping on a cup of some hot beverage. She sits at a table and begins typing on her laptop.

The mood of the music is softer and more relaxed, very coffee house laid back. Which is actually quite unusual due to their previous selections of music..

A young lady walks in. She is wearing a soft pink glittery sweater with leggings and UGG boots.( I see quite a few of these boots.) She walks to the line and stands in line waiting to order. Soon it is her turn. She orders, and waits on the side, she pulls out her phone and begins scrolling through it. Her hair is longer down to her waist and it is dark brown she looks to be of Mexican Heritage. Soon she gets her hot drink and finds a table to sit at.

There is an older guy of about 31 he is wearing a  leather jacket and some jeans with bigger boots. He is sitting by the entrance and he is reading a newspaper.


Soon my partner and I finish up our lunch and view the time. It is time for class. So we head out.
