<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

I'll go first.

Last week as part of my video class I had to record ambient sounds around my campus. After recording the sounds of stones being thrown at bleachers, a chain dropping on the ground multiple times, and the sound of a straw sipping liquid, my group decided we needed something more natural sounding. With that we agreed that we should shake a tree to record the rustling of leaves since there was no wind. I was given the task of shaking the tree while the other two recorded. I shook that tree like it was nobody's business. We must have been there for about 3 minutes before they thought our recording was good enough. Later that night I received multiple text messages which all basically said "Were you shaking a tree today?" Apparently the tree we chose to assault was outside the largest classroom on campus which also has three complete walls of glass. About 120 people saw me standing there, for three minutes, shaking the fuck out of a tree.
<bot>: I shook a tree for a strangely long amount of time and a class of about 120 people was watching without me knowing.
