Running for Time
by Hella ~ August 29th, 2004I need to build my base mileage back up so I went out for today’s run with a different goal. I planned to run for an hour and worry less about the mileage I’m covering. I think this will be a better way for me to work on a solid pace and as I run [...]
Calm Before the Storm
by Hella ~ August 29th, 2004Now that Pre-Term is mostly over and all that’s left is the Learning Team Retreat, I’m taking the time to catch up (and get ahead) on small tasks here and there. I’ve been going through Career Management’s website gathering up tips and documents to help me in the recruiting process. We have to make a [...]
Ouch
by Hella ~ August 28th, 2004I didn’t expect it to be so hot out today. I just got in from my run but I’ve got some major burning from my sweat-drenched shirt rubbing against my nipples. It’s one of those things that happens bad enough only once and you’ll always wear bandaids from there on. I was lazy today but [...]
My CPA
by Hella ~ August 28th, 2004This morning was the accounting placement exam and my last part of Pre-Term classes. I was up last night looking over some materials and I kinda figured I’d know how today would turn out. In fact, I almost didn’t even get out of bed to go take it but I decided I really didn’t have [...]
Smoother Sailing
by Hella ~ August 26th, 2004Today is a much better day. I started it off by going to Campus Computers. The gracious management there allowed me to make an exchange. I’m now officially using an Apple Powerbook at Wharton. I’m going to go back later today to pick up Office for Mac. I’ve already managed to get on the wireless [...]
Week of Hurdles
by Hella ~ August 25th, 2004In the spirit of the Olympics, life has decided to throw a nice set of 110-meter hurdles right in the middle of my week. It started with knowing that I’d have a waiver exam on Tuesday night. So this past weekend, I enjoyed myself in preparation to buckle down. Seeing where I stand now, I [...]
Syndicating Wharton Feeds
by Hella ~ August 25th, 2004As part of an upcoming project, I’ve written a piece of code to allow anyone to place Wharton news feeds on any webpage. All it takes is a bit of simple JavaScript and perhaps some HTML tidying if you’re particular about how things appear. To put it on your page, follow these simple instructions.
Copy and [...]
Math Results Out
by Hella ~ August 19th, 2004The results of the math test were emailed to us as I was sitting in a statistics lecture from 3-445pm. After class, I wondered what all the frenzy around the computers was and when I spotted a friend, he let me know the news. Well after checking my email, I can now say that it’s [...]
First Philadelphia Run
by Hella ~ August 16th, 2004After the math exam this morning, I decided to take some time to myself and go for a long run. It marked my first in over a month and the first since I’ve been living in Philadelphia. I set out the front door and decided to try and make it a 5-mile out-and-back for a [...]
Hit Me With Your Best Shots
by Hella ~ August 11th, 2004So I started the morning with a trip over to the Student Health Services building and I made it there just in time for my 10am immunization appointment. I was scheduled for 2 shots, a tetanus booster and the first of three shots in the hepatitis B series. In less than 10 minutes, the experience [...]
