Bored with Reecies?

Well i had no internet till today, I dont know why, so here is my blog for this past Wednesday that I wrote but was unable to post...


This week on the scene….

After going over my interviews, I started to notice another pattern that I maybe did not build on. They all came to the lounge for a change of scenery. Now I plan on asking new interviewees, that if they want to study somewhere other than their room, why they choose the lounge compared to the library or another study spot. The obvious answer I would think of is that it is close, but as we learned on Tuesday, ethnographers never assume, right?
That also got me to thinking… Do we all need a change of scenery sometimes? What happens if we get into habit of the same old thing? Well for me… I know in the studying sense I really haven’t ventured outside my room too often, except the occasional times when I go to a friend’s dorm room to study. But the same thing can get old pretty fast. This happens more rapidly for some than others, but I can imagine that it does happen. It makes me wonder when people do get to that point of things getting old, which actions they take. If they really get tired of their dorm, do they spend mostly all of their time in other places? And if this is true, is there a point where they feel they can start spending time in their dorm again? I can’t really come to a certain conclusion of that about myself, because if I get tired of a place, I just deal with it … hehe.

Well anyway, unfortunately I did not get to read my interview and get feedback from the class on Tuesday, but hopefully I’ll have another chance :) It was great to hear the interview from everyone else though :)

Okay over and out
