Fun times
While doing my study I primarily focused on a man sitting alone, a group of six people and two girls .The two girls that I observed were sitting two seats to the left of me. One was having an Einstein’s coffee with a pumpkin spice muffin while the other was having a strawberry smoothie. The girl that had the coffee and muffin is talking about her chemistry lab instructor and saying that she is too loud and rude when she is in class .She then said that her instructor kicked her out of class since she was on her cell phone trying to see what time it was. The girl then said that her instructor should have asked why she was on her phone instead of just kicking her out of class and giving her a zero on her assignment. The girl’s friend then asked if she asked her course instructor about this. The girls then talked about a guy that one of them liked and talked about this guy and some girls that may like him too. The girls then asked each other what times they had free on Friday so that they could both meet up. The man is currently looking at his phone and listening to music. He is now typing on his computer .After typing for a course of time he has been going on and off with his phone. He seems to be frustrated since his face seems to tense up whenever he reads a text from his phone. After he was done typing on his computer he then closed his computer and proceeded to taco bell. He then left the site. While doing my observations I came upon a group of about six people all eating food from the Corbett center food court. Three of the six people were having chick fil a, while two other people were having taco bell. The only person that was eating was this young man wearing glasses. They seemed to be all friends and have maybe known each other before college. Two of the students are wearing Ruidoso football shirts and one had a Ruidoso cheer shirt on. While sitting together one of the guys was talking about the game against Ole Miss that occurred on Saturday and how NMSU is terrible at football. All of his friends concurred with and said that they shouldn’t have taken money out of the math department’s budget since they aren’t progressing in any of their games. The boy in the glasses then stated that NMSU should switch to a division two school in regards to football. After they talked about football and they were done with their meal. One the guys wearing one of the Ruidoso football jerseys then asked everyone if they wanted to leave
