Looking out my window and down into the parking lot at a 10-foot U-Haul truck, I had my first “Oh Shit” moment related to the move. I never went to look at how big a 10-foot truck is; after seeing this one, I got worried. Even though I rented with Penske and not U-Haul, I [...]

I had some business to attend to this evening so I could only make it for a 4-mile loop. Instead of the usual tightness in my heels and the underside of my right foot, I was having some tenderness on the interior of my legs similar to shin pain. With the rest of my leg [...]

I haven’t done a double 4-mile loop in a long, long time. It’s about time I did one and I was on a high today after the first loop so I went for another. I bought new headphones for the iPod this weekend since the old ones were crapping out. My new model, the Sony [...]

I broke and decided to buy a new computer for my time at Wharton. I could really use the portability of a laptop. Also, my most powerful desktop is a Mac and that platform isn’t exactly recommended. I opted for the IBM T42. I also called Computer Connection as noted in the flyer and upgraded [...]

I finished taking the self-assessment tests this afternoon (or rather, they finished taking me) and decided to go ahead with my registration for Pre-Term. I also glanced through the Resource Guide when thinking about my strategy for waiving classes. In short, I’m not going to waive several classes I might could waive by credential. I [...]

I signed up for an account at a bank in the Philadelphia area since Wells Fargo has no presence there. That was over a month ago and I’m just now getting my hands on my checks that have the correct address. As convenient as the online signup was, the information systems at the bank I [...]

I went for the same route as yesterday though today it was much hotter. Yesterday it was sprinkling rain just a bit and the temperature was a good 10 degrees cooler. Today it was just hot and steamy.
The usual pain in my heels wasn’t there this time at the start of the run. The underside [...]

I’ve started rounding up information that will be important for Pre-Term and the rest of the matriculation process. I’m considering waiving a few of the core courses by credential but I doubt I will end up requesting waivers for everything I qualify for (especially after glancing over the Pre-Term prep materials!). There are just some [...]

With my Montrails back, I was ready to get back on the trail and see how they felt. I’ve definitely become more accustomed to a more bulky, heavier shoe. The run started out with tightness in the usual areas but it was rather quick to dissipate. I think the time off recently has actually let [...]

I broke down and reserved a moving truck with Penske because the rate dropped so low. I’d been looking at rates of around $1000 not including any extras (damage waiver, cargo insurance, dolly, furniture pads, etc.) but today it got down to $819. They also offer a 10% discount with an online booking. With the [...]
