Sample ethnograph

Sitting outside in the lobby right across from the Cma office and Office of student involvement and leadership
i am annalyzing the culture around and the enviroment. The random people walking in and out each of the offices and the kids using atm. FOr example right to the side of me there is two students talking about drama that they have with there roomates  and how the other is being "retarded". An artifact in this area would be the poster board and photos behind me . there is photos of crosses and random artistic photos probaly taken by the students.  Also the man using the ATM  seems very sophisticated did not speak a word ; he is just very quick in and out. He probably works at an office in the school. Very intresting lady she seems very nice just smiled at me and said hi dressed to "Nines"  actually kinda looked like express clothing.she also has a very buig lump on her neck. (she most likely was born with it). enough about her  and now onto how empty the lobby has just became; idk if it was me sitting here being odd typing as if its something a student isnt suppose to be doing or if its always like this at this timeHope fully i havent ruined this place for others .

Now really immature kids have approached the ATM screaming acting as if no one is here . they then proceed on saying "ohh yea theres people working here HAAHAHAHAH" an continue to talk loud
my words of advice  to them "grow up" or as my friend will farrel would say from step brothers "eat S**t"

  1. This was a really interesting place to do the sample observation at. You did a really good job describing the people that came in and to use the ATM. Seems like describing the people is your strongest. For some advice, you would want to describe the setting around you in more detail. Just like in Professor Williams' example - how she described everything about the bowling alley. Take that into consideration when observing your site and when you write your essay.
