First, to challenge conventions, Madi and I sat at the sandwich bar during lunch and ate our lunches there. We got many weird and confused looks from kids who were walking to clear their plates, and multiple teachers and students went up to us to ask what we were doing. In particular, Mr. Baker said, "Challenging conventions?" and Mr. Hild said, "Nice lunch seat!" Also, many of our friends at other lunch tables took videos of us, and it was an embarrassing but also hilarious experience. Sadly, it had to end before lunch was over- about 20 minutes into our experiment, a lunch worker told us that the sandwich bar wasn't a table and that we had to leave. Nonetheless, it was a really fun experience!
The second experiment I did was with Maeve, and we walked around West Hartford Center and Blueback Square wearing the same sweatshirt! It took a long time to actually get into the sweatshirt and get used to walking around, but after that, we acted as normal as possible and went shopping at stores including Charming Charlie's, Whole Foods, Crate and Barrel, and Starbucks. So many people stared at us while we were crossing the street or walking down the sidewalk, and a bunch of people commented on our appearance, either complimenting us or making a joke. It was probably one of the craziest and funniest things I've ever done!
