Location: Goldsmiths smoking area
What i ate: A chicken baguette, Coke (in a glass which i found a strange experience in itself)
- 12:07 The roll is hard on the outside and scratches the inside of your mouth when you bite into it
- 12:08 the salad is bitter. it is noisy and rather cold. a few people have already looked over curiously
- 12:09 I keep getting distracted as i am finding my own life rather dull at the moment. Eating a bland chicken salad baguette, and sipping coke whilst trying to document how it feels to be me kind of sucks. There's a girl in a red jacket on the table next to me who has a large burn on her hand. I'm wondering how she got it. It appears to be slightly seeping... and tada! i'm put off my food :-/
- 12:12 I keep forgetting to eat as i'm trying to notice everything in the general area. I take a few pictures.
- 12:13 I notice that the girl in the red jacket has her trousers rolled up. They're done quite unevenly so i'd assume that it's to avoid puddles than for fashions sake!
- 12:14 it starts getting noticeable noisier as there is a sudden influx of people
- 12:15 As you bite into the sandwich the filling gets squished and escapes from the sides. It's a very messy thing to try to eat as it gets all over your mouth (grr) unless you're really careful and i'm continuously wiping my face off in an unladylike manner
- 12:16 argh! i occasionally bite into bits of cheese (the best bit-they should have put more in). Would have taken the bitterness out of the salad...
- 12:20 the top of my mouth REALLY hurts now. i keep on complaining... i won't be buying a baguette from here again...!
I didn't do this part of the observation for very long as i was very conscious of how long i had left
I find it easier to note down times as it gives me a concept of how long things were, and how long i was observing for, and allows me to more easily structure the analysis and makes it simple when i review the info.
I will be adding photos as soon as my phone stops having a heart attack and decides to send the video file and photos i took.... why do i always have problems with technology i wonder... is something to think about!
Looking back over my very brief notes, i notice a bit of a trend in that i don't focus on the tactile experience of having lunch, but on what is going on around me. I wonder if this is out of boredom or if i am just a really nosey person...
