Observation #2: The Agora on a saturday afternoon

I went to go eat in the Agora, which is the cafeteria for Granville residents, around 12:30. I noticed that unlike other days, on Saturday, there is more of a relaxed atmosphere. People are dressed for comfort in sweatpants, sweatshirts, slippers and even pajamas. Most people are sitting by themselves or in small groups of two or three. There also seem to be more girls in the Agora at this hour than guys; there is one group of five guys who are sitting together over by the TV and every once in a while a guy, will be sitting with a girl at a small table. People are sitting at tables that are far away from the center of the Agora so there is a lot of space between people at different tables. There is not alot of noice, only a quiet murmur of people talking. Some people are doing homework (usually the people who are sitting alone) but most people are relaxing and people watching. Most people are also eating breakfast foods, particularly the waffles from the Agora waffle maker. Some people seem very tired and they are usually drinking cup after cup of water. All of these observations are the norm for a Saturday morning.
