Ethnography

May 8, 2016

Starbucks is always a nice place to be on a Sunday night especially if you are a student. But while today was filled with the usual students studying and working on homework. Today was a little different in terms of the overall crowd. Today there was a lot more non students in Starbucks. This is because of mothers day I think. It seemed as if a lot of the different crowd were moms or families getting some coffee. A lot of these families conversations were the same. It was a lot of what do you want mom? or happy mothers day mom we love you. Today showed me a different side of the Starbucks crowd. Even the usuals conversations were differing in topics. Today JS was in er spot working on homework as usual however someone was with her today. They would have an occasional conversation that I could over hear. The usual topic of what they did this weekend of course came up. However the interesting thing about today it seems to bring out everyones inner mommas boy or girl. They were both talking about how they missed their mothers today, how they wish that they could be with them today instead of here studying for finals and finishing up the last of their work. JS talks about how she can't wait to be home in Oregon with her family. How her family has a boat that she can't wait to be on out in the lake. She talks about how she is jealous that her family has already taken the boat out without her this year.
