Wow, what an experience that was going into a cemetery and having to do fieldwork. I felt a little bit awkward going through with it just because it was one of those things that you wouldn't normally do on a daily basis or anything. I thought it would have been a little warmer that day, but with such a cold day, I just wanted to get out of there.
It didn't help that the sun was coming down pretty quick either. It was a little traumatizing learning that there was such a large homeless population walking around or occupying the Pioneer Square
I recall having them try and yell at us for being there like it was their land... Another traumatizing event was watching a homeless man poking himself with a needle or something of that nature right on the right side of my car. Needles were also present in the cemetery itself, and with taking a class on AIDS, it didn't really sit that well with me. Oh yeah, and don't forget the ticket I got for being
there 3 minutes over my time. It was definitely an experience I wish could have gone about better because by the end, I had three traumatic events happen in literally 2 hours...
