-This was one of the loudest days in my 12:45 Tuesday/Thursday class. Since the classroom feels like the inside of a volcano on most days, either one of my friends or myself put the air conditioners on close to full blast. On top of this, practically everybody was talking at the same time while my professor was talking to tech support to get help with the beeping projector. These sounds, along with some of the other ones, were bouncing off the walls so it seemed even louder to me.
