Michelle, Journal Entry #7

1. 03/16/11, 9:10 am- Spiegel

2. Everyone talking in the back row. Some people are whispering and some are talking at a normal level.

3. Kolb is talking about the papers he just gave back. I can hear the papers being shuffled in everyone’s hands as they read through them or put them away, and those desks are also sqeaking/thumping.

4. The desk part of my seat is sqeaking because it’s loose. I can hear myself chewing a bagel and the plastic wrapping in my other hand. When I take a sip of my tea I hear that buzzing sound that you can sometimes hear when you drink out of paper cups with lids.

5. The general sound level is pretty loud. Lots of people are talking over each other to be heard, there is a lot of activity.

6.  Chaotic

7. Kolb at the front of the room, loud voices from the back row, sqeaking of chairs/desks
