Observational 2: Disruption

I chose Davis Library as the place to observe and disrupt. I went to the 8th floor of the library and made a scene. I was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop or hear a person cough across the huge stacks of books. However, instead of sitting down in the wooden cubicles, I started walking around the stacks of books, acting like I was searching for a book. While I was looking for books, I started to raise my voice, just to a normal talking level, expressing my disappointment that I couldn't find the right book. In addition, I didn't stop talking and my shoes made a squeaking noise that only happens when they are wet. I saw numerous people look up from his or her cubicle and look dead at me with a look of irritation. One girl actually left the room in a hurry. No one said a word to me, but those who could see me never stopped looking at me; all they did was stop and give me the death look.
