Just People

So today I had a two hour break in my schedule with nothing to do, which is unusual because I always seem to have a ton of homework I need to work on. In this two hour window I did what most college kids do and “surf the web.” This kept my attention for all of thirty minutes. As I tried to pass the rest of the time I found myself ‘people watching’, which is something I tend to do when there is nothing better. As I sat in the glass Passover on campus, I could see not only the people around me, but also people who walk by and that are outside. I would like to note that this weekend is parent’s weekend so people may have been acting more civilized than normal. Inside the crossover there is a girl reading and book and a guy on his laptop reading off of the EReseve site campus has. The other side of the room is filled with this couple who, in my opinion, have odd dynamics (but who am I to talk about odd dynamics in a relationship). He seems to be the care free kind of person who relies on others to get by in life. He is wearing shorts and a short sleeve t-shirt, its fifty degrees out! She is bundled up like we live in the Antarctica and very adamant about getting her assignment done. He keeps on telling her to stop working, eat something (because he went downstairs and got her a sandwich, which she paid for). She then whines about the sandwich saying that it is too big and didn’t have enough lettuce on it, it was a regular. What is with girls at this school and not eating anything? I mean don’t get me wrong, there are days in which I eat like a bird (small amounts but lots) or when I am in deep concentration with an assignment that I eat nothing. However, if someone brings me something that I did not have to obtain myself I am not going to whine; you say thanks and eat it.

Next I want to talk about the people who think they can ride a skateboard, but really they have no control over it and just run people over or fall on their ass like one kid did. In addition to those skateboarders, were the bikers. What is with some of them riding down the sidewalk and thinking they can’t take their bike in the grass, but you should walk off and clear room for them? I also don’t get the people who feel the need to yell across campus at the wrong person or at a person who has no idea they are even talking to them. For example, if you yell the name Emily, like fifty people are going to look.

In addition to all this, we have the support tables. These are the tables that people set up to get people involved in their cause, but the people working them are not aggressive at all. They just sit there and talk to each other, they don’t talk to those walking by or even stop their conversation when someone approaches the table; HELLO no wonder your still recruiting people! Well I guess I could go into the people who are still a little drunk from last night or wake up three hours before class to get ready when no one really cares that they are even there, but I won’t. I’ll stop here and head to my last class of the day. =)
