I have observed many of different things this week. I have observed alot of different personalities the week of me observing in my community. I had changed my time again and i was basically observing the finals of the in amiral basketball games. I have observed many of really happy people and many of really mad people. The happy people were the people that were doing really good in the finals. The mad people were the ones that wasnt doing really good. I have observed people that were team mates really getting into it ready to fight. I witnessed this team called the Dynasty they really were mad that they got put out of the finals one of there players actually caught a technical foul because he cussed out one of the refs. I believe his name was Mike he really was made after the game he was still going off on the teacher. They was actually more people in the gym that I have ever seen before in the gym. There was people every where they benches were so full that there was alot of people sitting on the floor. They was also alot of people standing along the wall. There was alot of girls just sitting around talking on there phone just there because they were there trying to think that some guys were looking at them. It was really crazy because there was nobody really in the pool room playing pool. There was people sitting in the pool room looking throught the glass watching the game but there wasnt no one playing. But these are some things that i had observed in my community.

I have obeserved many of things this week. I have observed that their were many more people playing pool in my community this week. I have observed that on some days their were alot of females int he pool room and on other days their were more males in the pool room. i have observed all the tables being taken this week. Which i have never seen before while observing my communtiy. There was also more people just sitting on the benches and in the seat watching. Of course old school was there and this week he was taking all challenges their was actually a line waiting to play against old school. Of course he was goign through them one by one. But one thing that i noticed that after he beat you he kind of help you out he give you a lesson. Like if u could of made a shot or didnt go for a shot he tell you where you could of hit the ball to make the shot. He also tell you ways to use the rell in order to make a shot. Also going on i wnet at a different time this week i noticed that were an in admiral basketball tournament going on in the gym. So also the gym was very crowded like ive never seen before there was people everywhere all over the gym. There was people sitting on the floor all of the benches were full there was people standing people everywhere watching someone they know play basektball. The games were only on the A and B court the people on the court were playing vey hard. They had it all I noticed that they had the score board on they also had two refs running up and down the court. They had two people sittig at the table watching and adding the points to the score board. I observed some very close games games by like people only losing by only 3 or 4. Except of this one team that had lost by 24 points they didnt look like they wanted to play at all. After they lost one of the players kicked the ball. On the C, and D court the was people just playing around they were not in the tournament. But i observed alot of different people i had not seen before and some really good games. Which i think was very good going at a different time period again. These are some things i observed this week in my community.

I have obeserved many of things this week in my communtiy. I had walked into the 3rd floor of the Rec IM and i seen many of people playing o some of the table in the pool room. Their were four of the six tables being played on by people. There was a guy with an eastern hoody on and a girl with a pink shirt playing on one table. Their was two guys playing that had on basketbal shorts and white t-shirts. Their was also again who i see everytime i go observe the community their was the older guy that everybody call "old school" and of course he was putting the beating on a different guy every time I seen him. I also seen another group of girls at this one table not really playing the actual game but just playing aroud on the table. One of the girls was just acting like she dont know how to act out in public she was very loud cusing and yelling and everybody was looking at her because she was really trying to put all the attention on her. There was also some people on the side of the tables where there are actualy seats they were sitting down some were watching the people play people and some of them were looking through the class where you can watch the people that are playing basketball in the gym. There was also a few females just sitting there looking around just on the phone. Then when i walked through the two big doors there was two teams of people playing against eachother on the a, b, and , courts. But their was only one white guy just shooting around by himself. They were having some real good games on the a court. There was a really big guy he had to be about 6'8 he was dunking almost everytime he got the ball in his hands and everybody in the gym when he dunk would go crazy. The b, c courts the players over there were still horrible they were not playing right all everywhere and fouling eachother every play. There was two teams of white males playing volleyball they seem very good. I found it to be kind of crazy because they were diving everywhere to get that ball acroos that net. There was a group of girls that game in and sat by the a court and was talking about how cute they thought the guys were that were playing basketball. After about seven o clock everybody seem to start leaving. These are some things ive observed in my community.

I have observed plenty of things while studying my communtiy which is the 3rd floor of the Rec IM. I had first went to the third floor of the Rec IM and the first thing that I seen was six pool tables lined up in two rows. There was no on really playing but these two guys one that had on basketball shorts and a t-shirt and the other was a man that everybody call "old school" he is an older man. They were playing pool and old school is a really good player so of course he was really beating the other guy. But then the other guy started to catch up and that when i guy came out in some blue jeans and a t-shirt and also starting watching. Then the other guy started talking junk and thats when old school just went on and finished him off. Then after old school beat him they stopped playing thats when i walked through the two doors that was open and i seen the basketball courts. I looked to the left and thats when i seen a group of girls in coats sitting there watching these guys play ball on the what the call the "A court" there is a a,b,c, and d court. I noticed that the a court ws the court where al the real good people play ball. And the "b court" is where the good people play and the c, and d is for the people that you can say just play but dont really need to be playing. There was two teams of all black guys and one white guy they all had hall on basketball shorts and t-shirts there was two guys that didnt have on any shirts at all. They were plaing some real good games until they got into an argument about this guy that was traveling the guy claimed that he did not travel so they argued for about 3 minutes until one of the guys just shot for the ball and they ended up making the shot and getting the ball back. They begin playing their game and then one of the teams ended up losing and one of the guys got really upset because they wasnt passing him the ball in the game so he put on all his clothes and then left. Thats when i went to the c and d courts and observed they where really horrible in playing basketball their was mostly white guys and chinese guys playing on the courts. They were everywhere while blaying basketball the were fouling eachother this one guys actually got ran over by this chinese guy they were both cahsing a loose ball. I think that watching them play was very funny because they were very horrible. Then over by the c courts their was a volleyball net set up but there was no one playing. There was alot of funny and great things to observe while observing my community.
