Scenario One

Alex is trying to pass her time between her lecture and her tutorial class, she’s not from Ipswich and only spends one day a week at Ipswich as she’s mainly based at the St Lucia campus. She doesn’t really socialise with her classmates in her Ipswich class, as she’s never there long enough. In her spare time between classes she tends to hang out by herself using her laptop or Nintendo DS (portable gaming device).

She decides she wants to get something to eat while trying to get a head start on an upcoming assignment before her tutorial. Alex heads to the refectory where wi-fi is available, and sits at one of the tables and connects to the Internet. Alex finds it easier to concentrate in the refectory at Ipswich, compared to the ones at St Lucia, so she never has a problem deciding where to sit away from loud noises. But as she has a preference for working in fresh air, she tends to sit outside.

It doesn’t take long to connect; she’s connected to the wi-fi at uni, several times before through her wireless laptop, so she knows how to connect without any problems. Using the wi-fi at Uni has become second nature to her. She needs to kill time, but doesn’t want to waste it not being productive.
