Observation Report
The assignement was to observe a random stranger and write a small paper on the observations.
The left dark brown Ugg boot steps in front of the right one. Walking with such fierceness, it looked like something out of an America’s Next Top Model audition. The red and black plaid jacket with the fur trim along the hood is laid against the back of the chair. Joined by a single friend, she sits at a table for ten. Her small leather handbag gets its own seat. It’s a wonder she can even hear through her giant 80’s hair. The hair is at least two feet in diameter. At the center of her head, the black roots are creeping on the unnatural red color of her hair. Either she loves staring at her roasted chicken dinner, or her giant silver hoop earrings are weighing her whole head down. The small fragile looking hands rips off the skin and tears through the meat of the chicken. Eating like that works up a thirst. With so many different sodas, it is difficult to choose. The Mountain Dew or the Pepsi? After starring at the machine for a good five minutes, the decision has been made. Pepsi is the clear winner. Her black painted fingernails grip around the clear plastic cup in one hand and in the other is the straw. After finally settling back down she checks her phone. Not once, not twice, or three times; but rather she checks her cell at least ten times. Her round face looks down each time in disappointment. Her friend leans over and whispers something to her. Her dark eyes look up from under straight bangs, and her lips finally curl up into a smile showing her bright teeth off to the empty Saint Rose dining hall.
