People Observations

5 people in the mohog :

1) There is a pretty blonde girl giggling to herself as she types away on a laptop. Has her boyfriend sent her words of kindness ? Is she gossiping about another girl ? Is she reading a funny joke or story ? Regardless, she seems confident enough to be careless regarding the fact that she is seated alone, and drawing attention to herself.

2) There is a large boy in a frat jacket roaming in what seems like an aimless fashion. Is he looking for a specific person, a place to fit in, or does he have a destination ? He seems worry free, and far from stressed or rushed.

3) There is a small, younger looking girl tucked away in the furthest corner of a both, crying, surrounded by three friends. She seems distraught, inconsolable, and embarrassed. I am forced to wonder why she would not escape to her room, but rather be one step away from slipping under the table of the dining hall.

4) There is a table full of men, clearly staff at the university. They are all in similar attire. As I watch them converse, I notice one to be particularly uninterested and uninvolved. From the looks, he seems as if he fits in, but his social actions are particularly minimal. I wonder if he is having a bad day, or if her personality keeps him this quiet. Are thoughts running in his head, or does he wish to be somewhere else?

5) There is a fashionably dressed girl running through the room on her cell phone. She is forced to swing her overized tote over the heads and chairs of many as she passes through. While that alone seems to annoy her, I wonder what else is causing this panicked look and phone call. Is it something life changing, or a minute detail that will not matter tomorrow ?
