Classes for the summer FTL/W

I would love to get ahead on my studies, but it would drive me crazy if I had to do 7 quarters in a row...

I actually thoht about dropping Price, but there is only 3 weeks left. I will most likely be bent over, but I am not going to grad school, so I don't care about GPA too much. As long as I keep it above my 3.4, I will be happy.

Indeed. West is far Superior though. Far superior. I like using the StarBucks downstairs for feeding and caffien duties when I get tired. Also the huge windows that face University Ave. are very nice. Every floor has a great veiw from that side of the library.

I use them all the dam n time. I wonder why my grades suck.

Oh yeah, they have a ton of study rooms you can reserve too if you have 2 or more people. I am hoping to take advantage of that tonight as I have that Price test in the morning.

I just moved to West. Waiting on some other people to get here so we can get a study room. I just remembered I have another write up in the same class also due tomorrow. WTF was I thinking taking these classes in summer A. The only relief is that Data is summer C. The other two are confined to A.

We ordered the JL marine pods, and the guy took them to a pro paint shop to have them painted to match. We got them on today, the thing overall is rediculous loud.

Tis all good. I shall recover. Taking price in Summer A may have been a mistake, however, the curve will be much bigger. No worries.

oh nothing, just wanted a bit more range.

anyhow, blew out 3 fuses yesterday on my arc 4150. i had it up fairly loud, but never had issues before. there was two popping sound then my front stage went silent. took the amp out and all three 25a fuses were blown. later that day, went to radio shack to get some new fuses. reinstalled everything...still don't have sound and the power LED on the amp wasn't on.

took the amp apart once again and all three new fuses were blown again. i took some pics. there's some discolorization but i think it's just from the age of the amp.

Do not waste any more fuses.

Resistor R281 is toast.

How does the bottom of the board look?

well from the picture it does look like it's burnt out. but that black thingy is actually one of two black caps that's out of focus. so it looks like the left side of the R281 is burnt.

well plugged in the amp late last night, and the amp turns on fine. but now there's a bit of noise from both channels.
