1) 2/5/15, 9:50pm, study session in Michael Caizzi’s room

2) Farthest: Cars driving (inappropriately fast) in the Colonial Square parking lot, someone upstairs dropping things on the floor.

3) Medium: Clock ticking in the suite, quiet chat in the neighboring room

4) Closest: Michael talking and typing on his keyboard, the HVAC blowing cool air, Judy Garland on vinyl.

5) The sound level and activity is pretty low. No sudden fluctuations in the kinds of sounds, or the volumes of them.

6) One-Word Description: Homey.

7) Three Sounds Essential to the Environment: The “buhhhhhhhhhhh” of the HVAC (it is relaxing and makes a steady background noise). The typing on both of our keyboards (sounds like productivity in tandem). Judy Garland singing “The Trolley Song” (warm, familiar).
