The Rundown Group 10::Arts&Entertainment, Episode 2

In this audio, you take a tour with me around the Jameel building at The American University in Cairo, just as set a foot outside my 9:30 am bus. The question always runs in my head every morning, "should I make it to class early, or should I make it one time." This time the answer is clear the second I decide to take the long route and have little relaxing walk, along with quick chats with some students.

Script: Just got off the bus and ready to start a new day at my second home. Should I make it to class early today, or take the long route and arrive on time? I think I’ll take the long route…
(NAT SOUND - footsteps)
Walking by the little water fountain, I pause and listen to the soothing sound for a couple of seconds before making my way down the hallway.
(NAT SOUND - Little water fountain)
I hear some confident footsteps walking by me. Do I know her? Yes, I do.
(NAT SOUND - High heels)
We wave, then I pass by the Caravan and say hi to the students who are typing their way on their computers but are not doing a very good job at eliminating distractions.
(NAT SOUND - typing and mobile notification)
I stop, and chat for a few minutes with some students
(NAT SOUND – students chatting)
and then decide to take the elevator, I’m feeling too tired to take the stairs today.
(NAT SOUND – elevator)
I walk my way to the class, and just as expected, I made it right on time.

All nat sounds gathered from the Jameel building at The American University in Cairo with the use of audio recorder Zoom H1.
