Today I sat in the front for the ground floor windows, in the Journalism building, watching people through the one way glass windows. It's interesting watching people walk right in front of me, oblivious, without making any eye contact. With today’s temperatures at a chilly 23 degrees, I decided to gauge how far each individual person walked manly based on the degree of pink in their cheeks. Of course I’m taking into consideration a few variables—- general health, dress, estimated weight of book bag and weather or not they’re carrying a hot drink or not.
The red head that just walked in front of me—- 10lbs overweight, appropriate dress, 30lb+ book bag, no hot drink, cheeks = very rosy. Estimated distance walked = 3/4 of a mile.
Next guess-- man in shorts. Ideal weight, appropriate dress, no book bag, not hot drink, cheeks = hardly rosy. Estimated distance walked = 50 feet. Probably just came from Larkin’s rec center.
I’m so good.
