Watching Someone Eat

For this assignment I watched two girls eating lunch in convo. The girls were at a big booth and they sat directly across from each other. For the most part the girls had bored looks on their faces. They would pick up their silverware, take a bite of food, and put the silverware down. This repeated several times. They did this all with the look of boredom all over their faces. The girls did not look at each other, they observed as people entered convo and walked past them. They both looked like they were daydreaming. The girls' body language was very relaxed, one girl even had her leg folded under her and on the seat. They did not sit up straight, but were slightly hunched over their food. Towards the end of my observation, the girls started to make conversation and they wiped the bored looks off their faces and began to interact with one another. They only began to talk after they were done eating their food.
