So far, I've been researching different settings for my experiment to take place and have officially decided on three settings to try out:
- Santa Clara County Library: Libraries have been rated as one of the best places to study and with the cafe at the side, may be it can be a great hangout spot as well.
- Starbucks: It's the most mainstream franchise around and is always filled with a variety of people, including students. It wouldn't surprise me if the combination of appreciated company and the alluring scent of coffee made studying a little more... bearable.
-Tea Era: With all this hype about PMT, I'm not entirely shocked that this came up right next to coffee shops. Who's to say that you can't read your AP Lang text while feeding your companion a sausage bento along the way?
I've already asked the librarian/shop owners for permission to take pictures and videos, of which they said "okay" as long as I don't disturb others (ha ha, no promises...) and STOP being sick (something about me being a health code violation). If all goes well, I'll be able to start this weekend ^^~~
Now, in terms of who will be participating in my test to spread my happy virus, I needed a healthy amount of people of all sorts of variety (friends, acquaintances, strangers,
BTW- There were some people who were uncomfortable when I told them about me filming and taking pictures of our interactions, so I went on a little shopping trip :D ( I might have gotten a little carried away).
Granted, these kind of look creepy and you know that these are all pictures of me, but that's because these were taken at selfie proximity.
That's all the progress I have to report to you all! If you have any questions, please, don't be afraid to ask!!
