1) 2/24/11-2:15 p.m.- table near one of the entrances inside Cafe on the Quad

2) The sounds furthest away from me included a paper bag crunching, the hiss of the espresso machine, change dropping into the cash register, beeps of orders being typed into the computer, music playing from overhead, the hum of the ventilation system,and voices of people ordering drinks.

3) The sounds in medium range from me included the door opening and closing, footsteps, keys jingling, and a chair scraping the ground.

4) My pen tapping on my notebook, my cellphone vibrating on the table, and the ice clinking in my plastic iced coffee cup would be considered sounds closest to me.

5) The sound level was loud because there were many students in the cafe at this time, and the sound activity was high because sounds came from different sources all around me.

6) Lively

7) The hissing espresso machine, ice clinking in my coffee cup, and the music playing overhead.
