I bought a new 3.5mm to 1/4″ adapter yes­ter­day, because the old one had been abused to the extent that it wasn’t lis­ten­able if I were to move the cable on my head­phones at all… a prob­lem for music where head­bang­ing is a requirement!

Yeaaah.  Any­way.  As you’d prob­a­bly guessed from the title, I’m lik­ing this new thing.  There are so many poten­tial points of fail­ure in my audio setup at the minute, but it seems like (at least on this line) that was the only thing wrong with it.  So bad were the con­nec­tions, in fact, that it was actu­ally increas­ing impe­dence across the cir­cuit to a not­i­ca­ble extent (audi­bly, even when the con­nec­tor was “work­ing”).  And this one does stereo with­out drop­ping out, so that’s nice.

I have no idea what I did to that last adapter, but it was seri­ously dead.  It’s been rel­e­gated to my in-tray, which sits about 15cm high at the minute (no, not jok­ing).  That of course means that I’ll likely never see it again, as I haven’t sched­uled myself a reminder to dis­pose of it.

Annnnd the mod­ern essay is fin­ished, for those who hadn’t guessed.  I’m not happy with it, but screw it.  Left another assess­ment too late.  The only one of this batch I the­o­ret­i­cally haven’t screwed up was one which required no study and was a gift.  Haha, the irony is, I dropped that sub­ject ;)  I’m told I went well, but the rumour is yet to be con­firmed with offi­cial sources, and I don’t care to myself, so think­ing I got 28/30 is good enough for me.  Those two marks are going to nag me, though…

No, I still have no idea what the maths test I may or may not be sit­ting tomor­row is.  I think I am throughly screwed.  I have first period in study­hall to work it out.
