Shoe and Flashlight Test
by Hella ~ December 30th, 2003I took my new shoes and flashlight for a spin on an after-dark run with a friend; definitely a good lung burner! The light certainly helped with the trail terrain and concrete ups and downs. The green color of the LEDs seems to do a good job of revealing bumps, rocks, etc. It’s also easy [...]
Honky Tonk and Wellesley
by Hella ~ December 29th, 2003I picked up a new (to me) Deryl Dodd CD and went to watch Mona Lisa Smile tonight.
The CD is really good. I bought it mainly for “Things Are Fixin’ To Get Real Good” and there is both a live (at Billy Bob’s Texas) version and one from the studio, listed at Bonus Track 1.
I [...]
Bulk Litter
by Hella ~ December 28th, 2003I made a mad dash to the store tonight in my attempt to tidy up the bathroom. Cleaning it normally involves vacuuming and washing (mopping) the floor, wiping down the counter tops, scrubbing the tub, and of course, changing the cat litter.
So I make it to the store and have to enter through the exit [...]
New Running Shoes
by Hella ~ December 27th, 2003Due to a recent problem with my cuboid bone, I have taken more than a month off from running. I have not trained since my last race, a half-marathon on Nov 16. After two visits with the podiatrist, I have decided that it is time to give things another shot, but the doctor recommended buying [...]
Admitted to Wharton
by Hella ~ December 19th, 2003This is moment I have been counting down for weeks now. Finally, at precisely 9AM EST, the Wharton Round 1 decisions were released. Thankfully, I was greeted with, “Congratulations, you have been admitted to the Wharton MBA program.”
I’m sure the rest of the day will be a blur as I stayed up quite late last [...]
MIT Sloan Interview
by Hella ~ December 3rd, 2003To avoid the possibility of getting totally lost again, and since my friend offered to do the driving, I rode across Dallas to Irving to complete my MIT Sloan interview. It took place in a quiet hotel lobby.
This interview was very much different than the one earlier today. However, I expected this going in, but [...]
Wharton Interview
by Hella ~ December 3rd, 2003Overall, the interview experience was wonderful, save the poor driving directions I printed for myself and my inability to hone in on the correct building among the four in the office complex. I am very pumped with how things went from a person-to-person perspective and I think I responded well to the questions the interviewer [...]
