Every day I walk around ten to twelve thousand steps a day, but I never really stop and intentionally listen to what is going on around me. While I was doing my sound walk, I found some really good hiding spots for when I want to be alone. I did my sound walk on a Thursday around 1:30 in the afternoon. It was a very gloomy day, about 50 degrees Fahrenheit and very cloudy and rainy. The first stop I made was at the Student Recreation Center, which is circled in orange highlighter on the map. There is a bench right outside of the gym that is a little bit in the middle of nowhere and a little far off from the sidewalk. I decided to sit there on that Thursday afternoon. I was facing the Student Recreation Center and watching people walk through

I went down the steps and sat underneath the covering on the side of the shorter wall near the door that reads, "EMPLOYEES ONLY". I sat there and sat my stuff on the ground and closed my eyes as I faced the steps I just walked down. When I closed my eyes, I heard a very faint noise and the distance that sounded like one of the shuttles slamming on their brakes and stopping abruptly. Another thing I heard as I sat at stop number three was a guy throwing his skateboard down the on the ground and starting to ride his skateboard away from the library, towards my next stop.

I sat on the bench furthest away from the library and faced towards the door that leads into the stairwell. I closed my eyes and listened, as I listened I heard a faint noise in the distance that reminded me of waves and completely relaxed me. I remember I quickly jumped as someone walked down the stairwell and opened the heavy door, as they were leaving they were dragging a backpack on wheels which was extremely loud. I also heard a a person on their bike ring their bell on their bike and heard their tires shake as they rode through the covering of East Hall where I was sitting. As I began to stand up and walk back home, I heard water hitting the ground. I thought this was weird since I was underneath a covering but then realized there was a leak and the water was leaking and hitting the
