Blog 5.5: Summary of in-class notes from ethnographical exercise

The classroom is inside the CAS building, somewhat chilly on a Thursday morning at 11:50 a.m. on February 7, 2015. I was looking around the classroom and everyone did not have a good seating posture except for  Jenna who was the only person sitting in a posture that was almost perfectly. Stephanie on the other hand was seated in a very comfortable matter where she had her legs on the chair as well. When Joanna spoke, we all looked around and focused on other people's face expression. Christa was seated facing the opposite direction in comparison to all of us. Dr. C paced back and forth frequently throughout the classroom. While Jilian spoke, she stretched and Dr. C. made a joke that took a few seconds to be captured by the class. She was the first one to laugh. Jenna walked outside the room with a bag at a very fast pace. Many side conversations were taking place and Karl was sitting cornered here in the last row. While Christa was speaking of her topic she felt she did not have everyone's attention and prompted a "hello" requesting that she gets everyone's undivided attention. She spoke about bullying which many nodded and agreed was a good topic. Dana and myself had side conversation about bullying and our encounters while working with bullying projects herself, she based it off her brother and said she cried. At the end before Dr. Chandler said something many of us laughed for some reason (unthinkable of right now).
