Journal Entry #1 – Dylan Pojano

Friday, February 12th, 2021 at 2:30 pm

Location: At a table in Bits and Bytes by the large window.

Farthest Sounds: The electronic sound of a voice coming from a phone or a computer, followed by loud joyous laughter, clearly an important person in their life. Although not in person, they wouldn’t have it any other way.

Medium Sounds: Other students eating and conversing amongst themselves, enjoying the moment that they are spending together. Laughing and spreading shared memories, truly the positive signs from a beautiful friendship.

Closest Sounds: A plastic bottle of cherry coke opening and garlic covered pizza being eaten, followed by smacking lips. Breathing and enjoyment of the meal before them, a brief pause in time for the calm amongst them

Sound Description / Level: Loud, but not deafening, above average but in separate private bubbles of sound.

Important Sounds: The heater behind gives a constant vibrating hum, while in front of me I can hear the sizzle of slabs of meat hitting the grill, which can easily make an empty stomach growl on it’s own. The sizzling is accompanied by the whir of a fan attempting to tame the heat from this blazing beast. The thrusting noise of a blender destroying it’s contents and making a delicious blend.
