Observation Project

Sooo...today when we got to class we were told to go somewhere in a 10 mile radius, observe a scene and write about it. I went to baker park this is what I finagled...

I am sitting in Baker Park on the bleachers of a baseball field. I see a bell tower, and behind it a row of houses. To my left there are many people in wedding dresses setting up for Brazil Day...I dont get it. To my right are four women parking their bikes and stretching to play tennis. On the bike path behind me are walkers, joggers, moms pushing their children in strollers, and passing vehicles. It is very cloudy and overcast. You can tell that fall is here, which I do not mind. I love the smell of fall. I love wearing fall clothes and walking around downtown in the fall. The grass is kind of wet and sticking to my feet...eww gross. I feel emo and weird sitting here all alone at 9:50 AM, however it is peaceful. I wish that we could do this everyday in English(my worst subject) I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading and writing, but i HATE writing essays. So back to the park scene...
The sun is about to come out, which is brilliant because I am cold. People watching is amusing. I love to give them names and make up stories about them. I dont doubt that sometimes I would be accurate. I came to the park because our teacher told us to stay in a 10 mile radius and I had already been to starbucks this morning. The pumpkin spice latte is back! I got into it with the "bartista" because he gave me a grande instead of a venti...HOW DARE HIM!?! So with starbucks rulled out my next option would have been a bar, but once again its 9:50 AM. Not that that hasnt stopped anyone before, but this is a school project. These women are still stretching and have not started playing tennis yet. I know its windy but geez I wonna see some backhand. I LOVE tennis. Now, these women are drying off the PUBLIC tennis courts with beach towels. Not only are the courts hardly wet but they are gambling away precious tennis playing time. Also, it would take years to dry off 5 tennis courts with 2 beach towels. I hate uptight people, just play in the baby puddle!
I just took a break from writing and ran the bases of this baseball field. I am heading back to class. I'll see ya when I see ya!

  1. Hey!
    Ok, so your observation is very jumpy. Start with your main idea, like tennis, and talk about the women getting ready to play and then possibly add how you feel about the subject. Once your are done with tennis, move on to a different observation and add details to that. I did not find the main idea in your observation...it all seems very random. Separate your ideas and learn from those ideas what your main point is.
    I hope that this was helpful. :)

  2. Haha, this was very spastic but it was interesting to see where your interest goes. I can understand where you are coming from, I am a big supporter of my A.D.D. It honestly just makes things more interest.

    But I have to agree with the fall statement, going from hot to cool. Wearing very comfortable warm clothing, its the good life.
