Coffman

From going taking the trip to Coffman, I noticed many signs in the surrounding by the Starbucks. I sat at a table for about 15 minutes and taking notes on my enviornment. I noticed that all of the tables were taken up, mostly by 2 people at a table, and what was even stranger was that they were all of the same race. For instance, there were 2 asian guys at a table doing math homework with their calculators. There were also 2 middle eastern girls sitting together talking in a different language and doing homework, also there were 2 white males in collared shirts doing homework together. These definitely go along with a typical stereotype which I would never have guessed happened in the union. There were also two tables where there was only one person sitting at each, and what was interesting was that they both had headphones on and laptops facing towards everyone with their backs up against the wall.
From this trip to Coffman, I saw how people interacted with each other and the common norms that students follow while at the University. For intstanc,e, every single table had at least one person drinking a beverage of some sort and all were doing homework. I found some of these aspects very interesting and intruiguing, I'm very glad that we took this opportunity to become better acquainted with our surroundings.
