Even on Sunday night, with it being this late, I was surprised to see this many people my age with all of their friends. At the table next to us there was about 8 kids all dressed in fancy black clothes like they just got finished with a choir concert. Even though they all looked nice, these kids were not the brightest bunch that had walked into my field site. They argued with the server for awhile for over something very easy to understand and they did not like the fact that it wasn't going there way. It bothers me sometimes how immature kids my age can be. Even after they paid there check they stayed at the table for awhile longer just messing with everyone and making a mess on the table. One of the kids who had earrings in was pouring ketchup into his friends drink and just passing it around, looking like a fool. I know for sure that the workers hate having to clean that up. I noticed another table that had about 6 kids and 5 of them were guys and the other one was a girl. I've seen these people before and I know that they are my age and they were so much more behaved than the immature choir kids. The five guys and the one girl just looked like they had been enjoying the moment they were in and loving life. I was not able to hear what they were saying but I wish I was because they were smiling and laughing the whole time. One of the guys seemed like he was the jokester of the group because every time he said something the rest of the table started laughing. I always enjoy seeing people have a good time no matter what happens in their life.

Good kids and Bad kids
I decided to go to my field site late last night because I needed to stay awake for another four hours and it was already 10 p.m. I walk into my field site and the first thing I noticed was that out of all the guys that were standing around the bar, half of them were in Cardinals jerseys and the other half were in Seahawks jerseys. My first impression is that I am going to enjoy watching everyone here during this football game. What made it even better is that the game was a very intense one and the cardinals ended up winning which made some people very upset. All throughout the game I couldn't here the other tables that were right next to me because every time an intense play would happen or someone would score a touchdown every person watching the game would start screaming. All these football fans made it one interesting night and I might just go every Sunday night while football is still in season.
