1. Thursday March 22 at 2pm – outside sitting on a table by Bits and Bites

2.  The sounds furthest from me are the doors opening and closing to the entrance of bits and bites and people walking

3. The sounds at medium range from me are the girls talking at the table next to me.

4. The sounds that are closest to me are the birds chirping. I was also sitting with my friend, who was on the phone, so I heard her whole conversation as well.

5.  The sounds were peaceful.  I was pretty much centered on the birds chirping because it was a beautiful day.  My friend was not talking too loud and the girls at the table next to us were talking relatively soft as well.

6. Peaceful

7.  The sounds that are essential to the environment are the birds chirping, my friend talking, and the girls talking at the table next to us.
