Went to the registrar's.

I almost laughed when I walked in the door - alfa, the front desk was occupied by a 50-ish black woman.

She enrolled me in the lab section I want, since it opened between last night and this morning, and put me on the wait list, position #2, for the chem section.

I asked her what if the wait list never opens, she said sorry, you don't get in. Well, not a very good answer, but my impression was that she has very limited power. So hopefully I'll get in, but I'm not terribly optimistic.

I really would like to see Peyton Manning have one or two more good years, installed in a team that is already decent, just missing a QB. Let's see what kind of stupidly high records he can set with a good coach and a good supporting cast, before he has to retire.

The Bears, certainly not, there's no offensive line.

Beyond that, nobody else has such a dire need for a QB to suddenly make the team come together.

Installed a sound meter to my phone, running about 60-65 db while typing. 30-33 by my head just from the computer fans. Near the computer tower is about 45.

Found a comparison chart that says a library is 40 dB. There is no way my computer is quieter than a library.
