Here in Casa Lima is where I go almost every day in the morning to get my chocolate mocha with whipped cream to start my day. What I like about this place is how calm it is early in the day. It is perfect to jus t go and sit and slowly sip down my coffee while eating a croissant or reading a book. If it’s later in the day I’ll just come and have a turkey sandwich or a strawberry yogurt. Occasionally when I’m sitting there relaxed enjoying coffee I can’t help but notice people’s behavior. Several times I have seen how people constantly focus on a person’s way of dressing or acting in a judgmental way. Usually one wouldn’t notice but if you try and sit down, relax and just observe people go you’ll notice. Places like this are the best to have pastries and sweets while relaxing or socializing with friends but also you can notice how others interact and get a more clear view on their personality. It is also very interesting seeing so many different kinds of people that come and go; I find it very interesting on the variety of people that are part of our campus. Tomorrow morning I will likely go back and get my daily coffee and sit there for a few minutes and see others come and go as I do to start their day and every time I sit down here I notice something new.
Do you think this activity should be done by others in the class? Is it valuable? Have you tried writing in an off-campus restaurant?
