The Norms of SJSU

Since I was a student at San Jose State for only a short period of time, its pretty hard to distinguish any norms. I also dont think i know enough of the student body to really get an idea of the norms that have been established or are underlying. One norm I have established since starting here is with the administration. They are tough, not tough like "biker bar" tough, more like "tough luck" kinda tough, so I guess basically just cold. The reason I see this as an established norm is that many of my interactions, and other students as well, with the administration have left us jarred. This is probably because many students lives clash with the harsh admin environment that is San Jose State. And I don't blame them, the workers in the offices I mean, for they are just doing what they've been told to do, or what they find works, which is being strict on deadlines, finances, and help. This is the only norm I could think of for something at San Jose, and I dont know exactly how many other students feel the same or not.
When I'm not at school, I find the norms that me and my friends share to be subtle, and slight. This may be because I've become to in-tune to the ins-and-outs of being in this particular group that no longer see the specifics of our interactions. I think a norm that we are constantly playing out is our phone calls. We keep em short. This might be attributed tot he fact that the group I'm talking about are all my guy friends, but that's a whole different communication class and subject. But yeah, we don't spend a long time on the phone, and we are more than likely to get bored, speed up the conversation, or hang up, if one of us forgets this. This understanding that we have has come over years of being in proximity to each other. We've never really had a reason for having long talks, even when we were all going to different colleges. Like I said, this is probably a more gendered norm, but, its one that has proved itself time and time again. ..Actually someones calling me now.
Till next time.
