Field Recording #8
Location: Breslin Hall, Royston’s Modern Drama class 3/29/12 2:19pm
Sounds heard: Everyone is talking very loudly about our midterm that we are about to have, discussing what will be on it or what info we need to know. This goes on at this sound level for a while, then you hear people start to quiet down as Royston walks in, and someone asks about our research paper. He answers that we will talk about it on Tuesday.
