This is how I’m going to spend my spring break…I like to sleep. Since I always destroy my sleep pattern during school and even more so during time off from school, I generally spend my days sleeping until 3 pm and going to bed at 4 am. I completed this assignment by using a sound from freesound.org then using audacity to edit the part I wanted.
For the Spring Break!!! assignment, I decided to tell a story about how my spring breaks usually sound. First of all, I work in a Northern gas station that is known for its coffee, so the hissing of the coffee pot. Then, I usually get to see my boyfriend (he studies at another university thats across the state) thus my singsongy voice. Then I live in a very historic area next to the beach, so I had to stick the seagulls in there somehow. I really enjoy this audio assignments.
Honestly, I use them as procrastination for other homework… Don’t judge.

For anyone who has ever watched MTV, or any show on television really, you know that Spring Break is a time when people go on vacation, binge drink, dance, party, engage in debauchery, and many other crude and inappropriate behaviors. So what do you think spring break is going to sound like?
For me Spring break is just a break from school, nota vacation. I spend spring break at work, directing people at kings dominion into the station and onto the tracks. This is one of the spiels I have to do OVER AND OVER again. (I say this spiel maybe 20-30 times an hour on a busy day. Now before I get a bunch of comments saying how horrible the recording quality is, it’s not. The sound was made intentionally to sound as if I were actually spieling over a, often crappy and broken, microphone in a smallish room. I had a revorb, some feedback, a delay, and some slight tweaking of levels and such. I think the sound came out fairly accurate to the way in sounds in the ride station… at least from my end, so for those of you who have been to Kings Dominion how did I do replicating the sound?
The third and final ds106 assignment for the FALO section. As it was required to do assignments from different categories ,I decided to give Audio Assignments a try.
The assignment is called “Spring Break!!!“
What I had to do:
Take a 30 second take of what your spring break sounds like. This could be anything from the sounds of a page turning of a book to a WILD PARTY! So let me know what you have going on.
Story: I am planning on going back to Sri Lanka during the spring break. April in Sri Lanka is usually the the hottest(as in warm) month in the year. The sun blazing right above our tropical island, we roam around in our flip-flops. Having been freezing for the last few months , I do miss my tropical weather( you should have asked me a year back and I would have said something totally different). So right now ,everytime I think of spring break, all I can picture myself is jumping into the pool . Few pool parties with my awesomely crazy family. I dont know how much I am gonna really “swim” but then theres gonna be lots of water splashing,so called swimming, making up our own styles and just simply enjoying the break! If god wills ,thats what my spring break is going to be like with not to forget lots and lots shopping! So far thats all thats planned ! 
i hope this is not what my spring break is actually like…made this in sound cloud then uploaded it and shared it to my blog. this was one of the audio assignments
This is what I will be doing during Spring Break. I will be writing a lot of papers to catch up in my classes. Boring!
in this clip you’ll hear exactly what ill be doing for spring break, which is relaxing watching tv and catching up on my leisure reading.
This is what my spring break is going to sound like.I have a busy life with school work,being a landlord for my mother and being in a relationship there is little time for me time so for spring break when everyone is getting drunk and partying i will be sound asleep.
this is a Audio Assignment where 30 seconds of my spring break was recorded. the most relaxing part of my break was the day i sat outside for abit on my deck drinking iced tea listening to the trees blow in the wind and throwing a squeeky toy for my dog. you can hear all of that in this recording if you listen carefully. enjoy
“SPRING BREAK!!!” 1 STAR AUDIO ASSIGNMENT
For this audio assignment I had to make a recording for 30 seconds of what my spring break would sound like using basically anything and any sound. So, I browsed through a couple of YouTube videos looking for a crazy party scene and I finally found one where their were people in the background yelling and blasting music outside by the beach, which is exactly how my spring break would be. Afterwards I used my iPhone 4S to record this video with my audio device app and I watched the timer go until it reached 30 seconds, then I stopped recording. This audio assignment was the easiest and most fastest then any of my others.
