Aggies loss

While doing my observation I primarily focused on a group of three guys, a man by himself and couple eating together. While walking in noticed three guys wearing the same type of shirts .While looking at their shirts I noticed that they were all in a frat. As well, they were being rather loud when I came. I then noticed a couple that was eating together, the guy was eating taco bell the girl was eating chick fil a. I then noticed a guy that was by himself staring at his pencil. I then noticed that the guys in the frat kept on joking around by making fun of one another. I noticed how many other people besides me weren’t the only ones looking at them. I noticed the couple staring at them as well. After the frat boys were done with their joking around they started to just look on their phones. When the guys from the fraternity were joking around the guy from the couple mentioned was saying something to his girlfriend that made her laugh, and then they looked at the direction of the fraternity members. Someone just came into the site and it is a man that is sitting alone and fidgeting with a pencil. While playing with his pencil i noticed that he never stopped moving at all and moved his feet as well in a way that his feet are touching the floor and sliding back and forth. One of the fraternity members said that he was having trouble in a course and one of his friends asked who his instructors name was and he told him. After he told him his friend that the instructor he has is extremely hard and didn’t have a problem with dropping half of the class. After that the couple that was sitting together finished up their meal and left the site, while the guy said “time to go Garcia”. The fraternity guys then commented on the Aggies loss against Georgia southern. One of them mentioned that NMSU’s starting quarter back got hurt against the University of New Mexico and that the Aggies would have no chance at winning a single game this year against any of the teams left for NMSU to play. Afterwards, they watched the game that was on the television which was the University of Florida against Florida State University. The guy that was fidgeting with his pencil stopped playing his pencil once his friend came. After the guys gave each other a typical handshake they left to go eat, my guess was Taos. After that I left the site.
