Hella

I took off work later than I had anticipated and I really didn’t want to hit the trail this afternoon, but I made myself put in 4 miles. The gnats were out in full force and it was hard to not catch a couple for an early dinner. I pushed the pace hard the entire [...]

The damage is now in, at least for the first year. I received my Financial Aid Award Notifcation Letter today via email and an official copy will be following by mail. This means that the Penn system has been switched over to the new year so U.S. Citizens that filed a FAFSA can now expect [...]

The matriculation process has now slowed to a waiting game, but I got an important mailing today from ISC Data Administration. Inside the envelope was a single page of instructions on how to claim a PennKey. Though the instructions are explicit, I had to do a little digging as there is an unmentioned step between [...]

I upgraded the Recent Books Section to display a small icon to show more clearly what I’m currently reading and what I have already completed. I simply added a tinyint field to the ae_data table and added a switch statement to the code. I think it’s a nice touch to the already great Amazon Media [...]

I’ve added a B-School RSS feed to Hella. Those with news readers, enjoy! P.S. Harry or Mark, please let me know if it works in Newzcrawler.

I had a great run this afternoon and ended the 4 mile loop heading right into the setting sun. Today marks my third run in as many days, but I’m sure this will end with the work week starting back tomorrow. I tried to push the pace a bit today which I generally do not [...]

Just as I did last weekend, I spent most of this weekend stuck in a book. The Last Juror was my most recent pick at the bookstore, entirely because it’s been on the best sellers list. As I did last time, I knocked it out in two days. While I enjoyed this story, it certainly [...]

I put in another 4 miles this morning, and this makes two days in a row, but I’ve decided I will skip out on the race I was planning to run on March 20. I’ve wanted to run that race for 3 years now but I think I should focus on getting back in good [...]

I had not run in over a month, but I decided today was a nice enough day to put in an easy 4 miles. It was evident in my legs and breathing that I took a lot of time off, but in a way I was hoping that perhaps it would help heal my foot [...]

When I was applying, I thought it would be nice to have some channel to give the schools advice on their processes (Ok, so Wharton’s S2S made it quite easy, but not so much for other schools). If enough people spoke up and the information was presented in an organized format, perhaps the schools could [...]
