Shut Up for 5 Minutes!

Ask a teacher and you will surely find they have witnessed it. Another aspect of this loss of control is the removal of two white plugs from my ears. Usually, I control the soundtrack. For five minutes, this Sunday afternoon, I sat down on a bench in the metro level of the EV building. I was able to collect sounds from this environment. They are detailed in the image below.
