10 minute observation of goldsmiths smoking area

this is part 2 of the earlier exercise.

i was meant to do 30 minutes on each thing, which somehow turned into 30 minutes for both!!

I did find it quite intriguing though, and very weird taking detailed notes on someone other than myself!

• 12:22 A guy is constructing his own sandwich from four pieces of bread wrapped in clingfilm and assorted filling. He places the piece of bread on a plastic container lid and uses a knife to spread butter, transfer the three or four fillings and cut it into neat triangles
• 12:28 There's a tiiiiiiny banana (looks decomposed as it's almost completely black!) that i think he is going to eat despite the risk of poisoning :-s
• 12:29 He is quite engages in conversation, lots of gesturing
• 30 He's adding extra tomatoes to the second half for no apparent reason. I wonder why he didn't put them in in the first place as they've been on the table all along so it's not as if he forgot about them!!!)
• 32 He has half a bottle of water left. I think he's feeling the cold as he puts his coat back on, but doesn't leave. I'm trying to be discreet but he has clocked on
• dammit!

I found this really intriguing... Peoples quirks really amuse me, and their eating habits. I am sure a psychologist somewhere would assign some kind of OCD to him, as he lined everything u straight, cut his bread in a certain way, added tomatoes only to the certain half. If i get the chance to observe him again I'll see if he repeats his behaviour. Although he may change his behaviour as he may know that I'm watching him...

Next time i won't write things down, I'll just try to observe and remember as much as possible!
