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.
