Transcription
Left page: "interesting to observe. I was exhausted but still didn't get to sleep till 3 am. My attempts to remain calm about personal dynamics not very successful so far. The noise, many conversations, watching the patterns of the conversations. One person begins to speak - rather than being heard"

Right page: "the comment serves as an opportunity to arc conversation to them. Person 1. Begins to say something about a topic. Person 2 - rather than listening and respecting the point and hearing person 1 out, Person 2 deflects the conversation to themselves. The art of conversation."
