blog 1

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.

Very good with the amount of detail that you observed. Was there anything else going on while the guys were playing pool in the room, or what else was taking place at the same time of the basketball game. Where there spectators whatching them play, others wanting to get in on the game? And where were you when each of these things took place. Thats about all i could find for you to add anything. It is a very obervation of what your community was doing good job.
