Cafe On The Quad, Monday, 10:55 a.m.
I hear Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” on the sound system, a group of guys talking, drinks made on the espresso machine, me putting my drink down by my computer, and me tearing the wrapper off a package of Reese’s peanut butter cups. I’m glad I got the recording when I did, because shortly after “Smooth Criminal” came on, a rather bad dub step mixed song featuring Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj came on.

First, you can hear two people talking about how early they have to get up, their voices fade to the background as we walk past them. You can hear her hit my phone (my recording device) by accident as she passes me to get to the sink. You can hear her footsteps, then her pouring out her water bottle in the sink.
