Basement of the Axinn library- 12:45  2/15/2018

Farthest: I can hear people walking up and down the steps and others opening the side door of the library.

Medium: I hear people loudly working on group projects together, while others are gossiping in hushed whispers. I also hear the sounds of people typing on thier laptops, the printers printing out people’s projects, and the turning of pages in a textbook.

Closest: I hear people walking behind me and my neighbor taking out the contents of his backpack and placing them on the table. I also hear popping and clicking sounds in my ears (I am congested this is how I try to itch my throat).

Name of Environment: Studious

Three most important elements: People discussing their projects, typing on the laptops, and the flipping of pages.

The wind passing through my open window.

The unnecessarily loud humming of my refrigerator.

The sound of my neighbor talking.

The sound of an idiot playing with the bell in the elevator.

The sound of a car revving it’s engine and driving away.
