Notes From Crimson

These are my notes from sitting and observing for fifteen minutes in the Crimson Dinning Hall at Bridgewater State University.

It is seven O'clock.
There is a giant clock on one of the walls.
People are walking in and leaving at a steady pace.
Most people go straight from entering Crimson to stand in line.
After getting orders they sit down at a table.
Most everyone is sitting with someone else.
A lot of conversations, sounds like just noise.
There are four stations to get food from.
You can smell the types of food being cooked.
The most prevalent smell is that of burgers and fries, most likely because I am sitting closest to them.
Some people are very concentrated on eating, while others are having conversations and watching TV.
The workers seem casual about making food, even though there are a lot of people.
I notice alot of laughing and smiles from people having conversations.
It is now seven fifteen.

After looking over my notes I find that I think i need to be more specific. I have a lot of descriptions of what I see but if I were to be even more detailed it would help in having more details while writing a paper. I need to add more things like how the seating is set up, where in relation to other objects am I sitting, and details about the colors textures and lighting of objects. Another aspect that I could improve on is that of using my other senses to describe things. Keep more notes on smells, and what I hear. By having more of these it will make a fuller picture of what I was experiencing at the time.
