S-NO-W

by Hella ~ February 28th, 2005

Today is one of those days that’s better spend inside with nothing to do other than eat soup and watch TV. But then again, today was the last day of Quarter 3 classes (and the last classes before Spring Break!). Both are good reasons to journey to school and get it out of the way. [...]

Pedestrian Philadelphia

by Hella ~ February 27th, 2005

One of the things I love most about living in Philadelphia (and I never thought I’d admit this) is not having a car but still being able to get where I want just by walking. From the Deleware River to the campus, I can walk pretty much anywhere I want to go. Combined with the [...]

Jones

by Hella ~ February 26th, 2005

Though it’s been several days since I went, I figured I’d talk about Jones, a restaurant around 7th and Chestnut in Old City. I’d heard good things about it so late Monday night I headed over to check it out.
The interior is pretty neat with a very open arrangement. There are dark red-colored lounge chairs [...]

Stylesheet Tweak

by Hella ~ February 26th, 2005

I messed with some font sizes in the Brick Theme stylesheet. Those of you who commented on the fonts being unreadable, please do comment and let me know how it looks now. Thanks.

Catching Up

by Hella ~ February 25th, 2005

I was completely exhausted last night and ended up falling to sleep before I even had a chance to eat dinner. I woke up this morning around 10am today and figure I got a good 12 hours of sleep in. At least I’m feeling refreshed, and that’s good considering I’ve got final exams next week.
Tomorrow [...]

Blog Upgrade

by Hella ~ February 24th, 2005

I just upgraded to WordPress 1.5. Hopefully things on the site are all working again.

Long Day in Dulles

by Hella ~ February 24th, 2005

Today I started at 5am by waking up, getting a shower, and going downstairs to get in the rental car to go pickup my teammates. We were on the road out of Philadelphia by 610am. We knew we’d be running into some nasty weather and weren’t looking forward to the drive.
The competition went a bit [...]

No Sleep, No Contest

by Hella ~ February 23rd, 2005

I’m way behind on sleep this week and I’ve been paying the price today. I’ve felt a bit faint most of the day but classes are now over and I ventured back home. Even though I only had two classes today, I’ve had a very full schedule.
I started by waking up early so I could [...]

Cases, Elections, Data, and Court

by Hella ~ February 22nd, 2005

Just when recruiting ceases to be a stress, all sorts of new things come in the door. This week I’ve got to prepare for a case competition in Virginia that takes place on Thursday, prepare (actually just be a data monkey) a document for my DGSAC client, work on digging up some data for an [...]

After DIP

by Hella ~ February 20th, 2005

I am DONE. And I can’t say I’ve had a better feeling of being done with something in a long time. The DIP process was really annoying, drawn out longer than I expected, and littered with frustrations. Having said that, I have emerged with a job offer and I am officially accepting it tomorrow (both [...]
