Milieu

I am one of those people who needs absolute silence to do any kind of work. I can't listen to music. I can't have my boyfriend play his silly shooting xbox game behind me. I can't even have my cell phone in my line of vision. I clear my mind. It works for me.. well most of the time. SO where did I go for this "milieu exercise"? The most annoying crowded place I could think of on campus. The HUB.
I am not a fan of the HUB, infact I avoid it all costs. I do not like crowds of people bumping into me and I just do not like the fact that you are usually forced to sit next to someone you don't know and have try to enjoy bagel and coffee. I don't like that I don't even have enough room to spread my USA Today Sports section across the table.
I am sitting here at a table in the HUB across from some guy who doesn't look happy about what his psych book is telling him. I have my everything bagel, smothered in cream cheese and I am about to eat it. I like bagels. They are like the perfect thing to eat in the morning. Filling, carby and fatty. mmmm absolutely perfect.
The HUB is like an airport.
Kind of. Or atleast it reminds me of one. I ALWAYS people watch in airports. Its one of my past times actually. I love to watch people. Everything, every move is fascinating. Like the girl over there who is juggling a coffee mug, water bottle, a stack of cooks and a sushi. Sushi? Ew why in the world would you eat that at 9:43? Or that football player over there who looks like he just woke up. I wonder how much he weighs. Atleast 275. That is like 2 and 3/4 of me.
The facial expressions on the students who walk through the HUB are priceless. It seems that the fraternity looking boys are walking zombies at this hour. Girls are interesting. You have the ones that dress up and look cute. And you have the ones that wear PJ pants and beanies. Student attire is an interesting study.
Many many people walk through the walls reading newspapers, and some don't even bother to watch where they are going. Yep someone just knocked over that kids juice. I like the people who act like they are on the phone with someone important and then when they walk by close to you and you hear them say "by mom, i love you too"
The girls that are sitting behind are talking about losing 5lbs before Friday. The group of girls infront of me are vowing to stop shopping until march. I wonder why? Do they have a shopping addiction? Maybe I should ask.


Okay- i have to go to class now, + I am felling claustrophobic.
