Student Center in the Morning
- 2/10/17 8:45AM Student Center 2nd floor next to the hair salon
- An ominous buzz from industrial kitchen equipment, someone taking out the trash, the ladies at Sbarro’s making food, an espresso machine, the speak of wheels from some sort of cart.
- Boots hitting the ground, various chattering, this beeping noise when people use the kiosks, people grabbing utensils, the rumbling of the cart
- People passing behind me, the opening and closing of the bathroom door behind me, me typing on the keyboard.
- General sound level is low. There’s a moderate level of activity but most of it is very quiet to begin with.
- Subdued
- Light chatter, the ominouus buzz, people passing by
Journal Entry 2
- 2/7/2017
Approximately 7:30 AM
My car, on the Meadowbrook Parkway, heading to Hofstra
- Another car on the road, some distance away.
- Another car as it passed me on the left.
The sound of the wheels as the car quickly moves.
- The engine’s high whine as it struggles to change gears
The engine’s roar as it coasts at about 65 miles per hour.
The music in the car playing very loudly; the cast recording of The Adding Machine: A New Musical.
My own coughing, quite frequently.
- Loud: my car is naturally pretty loud, as well as the cars around me, and my music is turned up even louder to compensate.
- Quaint
- The music playing on the radio.
The sound of my car’s engine chugging along.
The sound of my car’s engine wheezing as it barely chugs along.
