Journal Entry #4

1.  Thursday February 23rd at 1:20pm in my journalism class (Dempster Hall) during a test

2. The sounds that are farthest away from me are people walking outside the classroom and they are talking as they walk by.

3. The sounds that are at a medium range to me are the professor typing on his computer in the front of the classroom and a student in the class that is opening up his bag.

4.  The sounds that are closest to me are the sound of the person sitting to the left of me erasing an answer on her on paper and the person sitting to the right of me is breathing heavily.

5.  The general sound level is soft and there isn’t much going on.  Everyone is concentrating on their test.  There is not too much going on besides the sound of typing on a computer keyboard, a bag being zipped open, heavy breathing, erasing, and the faint sound of people walking and talking outside the classroom.

6.  “reserved”

7.  The professor typing on his computer, the sound of heavy breathing from the person sitting next to me, and the sound of erasing from the person sitting on the other side of me.

Journal Entry 3

1) 2/17/11-3:00 p.m.-Honors College Lounge on the 2nd Floor of the Axinn Library

2) Secretary typing and clicking her computer mouse, sigh from person walking by the lounge, printer printing paper, indistinguishable talking in a personal office, and hum from the ventilation were the furthest audible sounds from my position.

3) The sound of people unwrapping candy and chewing, a newspaper rustling, talking, water pouring into glass from a blue water cooler, and shoes clicking would qualify as medium range sounds.

4) My pen clicking, seltzer water fizzing, and my own breathing would be considered sounds closest to me.

5) The sound level was fairly quiet, but the sound activity was high. The sounds I heard were not very loud, but sounds were coming from all over the lounge from many different sources.

6) Pleasant

7) Secretary typing, unwrapping candy, and newspaper rustling.
