Mccain Bedroom Observation
I conducted my observation in the reading room of McCain Library, also known as the nap room by many Agnes Scott students. The reading room is a long rectangular space that is very open and has one wall covered in ceiling to floor windows. There are a few paintings and a large fireplace, with a big sofa right in front of it, at the end of the room. The majority of the couches are faced directly towards the windows, where students can people watch while studying. The rest of the room is decorated with several chairs and matching ottomans.

I am also assuming this is why they are not as distracted by the tour group and the ruffling of the foil from my sausage biscuit, because they are used to it. I think it is obvious that the president of ACS is stressed out based on her mannerisms. I am assuming that all her responsibilities as well as being into the last three months of her senior year at ASC are causing her to become overwhelmed. The age of the students in the reading room seems to have a lot to do with them embracing the silence of the room with open arms, instead of shoving headphones into to their ears to create their own world. The people in the reading room were able to go into their own world’s without the use of headphones to block out the other sounds, and I think this has to do with their maturity as well as the fact that they have experienced this
