Week 1

1/17/13 (Thurs.), 11am-11:10am – Cars driving by, they sound like they are moving really fast, doesn’t make me feel too safe because they might not be able to stop if someone were to cross their path. Birds are making noises outside, makes me feel at ease knowing that it is nice enough outside that they are just hanging around. If it were suddenly quiet it would make me feel uneasy I’d imagine. I can hear my computer speakers making noises right before I receive a text, it’s funny because I feel awesome being able to hear that and pick up my phone right before I get the text. The sound of neighbors entering their house, sometimes I think it’s someone entering my house but then I don’t hear any footsteps going down the hall, I feel at ease a little more. I can hear the wind gently blowing into my room, I forgot that I had left a window open to air out my room, it was getting stuffy.

1/21/13 (Mon.), 11:30am-11:45am – Music from my speakers is playing music, Between the Buried and Me; it makes me feel good hearing the constant time changes, the drums complex beats. I shut off the sound system. I can hear the sound of my laptop’s fan going, my keyboard making sounds every time I type. I could hear a car’s engine in the distance, perhaps racing or just speeding up to get up to the speed limit as quickly as possible, a whopping 40mph, unless they were speeding. Hearing the wind of a vehicle moving from a distance is an interesting feeling, it makes me feel like they are approaching fast but then the sound fades away. The sound of my space heater working makes me feel even warmer though it’s not directly hitting me. I had to get up, my bed made a slight creak sound; It makes me feel either I’m almost too heavy for it or that the bed is just old. Either way it can still hold me up just fine. My footsteps are somewhat heavy, I try to walk as quietly as possible, the floor still makes some creaking noises because it’s an old house so the floor is probably not in the best condition beneath.
