Mini- Ethnographic Account

I chose my roomates in my apartment to study. I live with three girls. Normal attire is usually sweat pants with t-shirt, no one tends to linger in work clothes around these parts. We always greet each other in motherly ways almost. "Hi, how was your day?" or "Hey, how was class?"etc. We have 2 bathrooms. 2 of us share a rather messy bathroom. Hair is everywhere, make up is scattered about. Nothing too gross, but could be cleaner. The other two share a cleaner bathroom. We speak to each other in soft tones, comforting tones usually with the occasionally breaking out of the stereotypical southern hick or ghetto voice that we might have heard on a tv show or something. Laughter takes place a lot. I have very musical roomates. A girl singing can usually be heard when you walk through the door, along with a guitar in the background depending on the day and the roomate. They create a home away from home environment. When we have company over it sometimes can get really loud with the enjoyment of a funny movie or baking cookies in the kitchen. I would describe it as a warm and inviting culture. I enjoy it.
