People Eating by Themselves

Hey y'all.

So, a couple weeks ago in class we were talking about how we feel the urge to look "busy" while eating opposed to just sitting there enjoying our food in peace without a book or the crossword puzzle or sudoku or something in front of us. I have eaten breakfast twice in the last 5 days, so Thursday and today (Tuesday) and both times I have seen quite a few people sitting there just eating there food. Their backpacks were closed and on the floor. There were no books, no Chronicles, just them and food. It was cool to see. One girl was def jamming out to her iPod and smiling. She looked content. In her own world and could care less. I thoguht it was great. The other few kids I saw were also just doing there thing. Two of the dudes were kind of watching other people. The other guy was faced away from people so that it seemed like he was trying to have his own space even while all the swimmers were at the tables in the middle. Oh, and both times I had breakfast I also made sure to make a conscious effort to not have anything in front of me to keep me "busy". Just food. It was actually quite nice. I totally recommend if you get the chance. I had kind of forgotten what it was like. Ta ta.
