Today's traffic through the halls has died down a lot compared to other days. People have been skipping classes and going home for Thanksgiving, I figure that most of the people ho are still here are from out of state or have more work to do than they can afford to forget about. The people who are here are mostly employees and people hurriedly trying to finish work before they go home, I assume. Those who aren't workers don't seem to care about how they look, they are dressed comfortably and wrapped up. There is a group of sorority girls, wearing their ZTA sweatshirts and talking loudly, huddled around a laptop. I've seen most of them around, had one of them in my Human Sexuality class as a Sophomore. I don't know much about any of them but I'm thinking about how awful it would be for them to only be stuck here because of sorority events, which is most likely the cause.
Everyone who works here is giving off the impression that they don't want to be here either and for good cause, but someone has to work throughout the holiday to keep things from going to chaos. Specifically, the people working at Einstein's are just sitting around drinking coffee and talking while on their phones. It doesn't look like they have had a customer all day, especially since everyone drinking coffee here have Starbucks cups. Out of curiosity, I went to the second floor of Corbett to see if there were more people in the computer lab or doing work anywhere else since it is much nicer than the first floor. I was partially surprised to find that the computer lap had more people, but not by much. I suspect that they are the ones that have the most work to do and no laptop of their own. If they were to go home and didn't have a way to do their work, it would be very problematic.
The girl working at the desk on the second floor is also playing on her phone and looks very bored. Actually, several of the people in the computer lab are not doing work, they are talking and on Facebook. If they aren't there to work, I'm wondering why they are there at all? Perhaps I am assuming that everyone is from somewhere else like I am and that they must leave to enjoy it. However, now that I think about it, Thanksgiving is an American holiday that probably most people don't even know about. I didn't even consider that people don't always understand it, even Americans.
