I have recently become addicted to grab-and-go food at Wawa. In particular, I’m quite fond of their Shorti hoagie. They come in various sizes from 4″ to 10″ but the 6″ Shorti is usually just right for my appetite. According to the Hoagies page on Wawa’s website: Wawa Hoagies Delicious, built-to-order Wawa Hoagies are made [...]

Now that classes are over and all the Excel projects have been submitted, I have decided to say goodbye to XP. I currently own an HP Pavilion dv1000 series laptop. I’d always wondered how Linux would run on a laptop so I figured I would give it a shot. I’ve been more familiar with Debian [...]

The weather seems to have finally turned for the better (or at least not quite as chilly). Trees are in bloom and the parks are starting to see more maintenance. The fountain in JFK Love Park is almost always in these days and we’ve been seeing some bright sunny skies over the past week. Here [...]

Darling Homes is building a new house for me in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I originally inquired about the community after it was fairly well sold and not many homes were available. In fact, as I was putting down the deposit on the lot, the other 3 remaining lots were sold. Compared to other builders [...]

Max and Sofie celebrated their 6th birthday today in Philadelphia. Now that I’ll be moving into a much bigger place, I’m considering getting another pair of kittens to liven things up. Something about a carpeted stairway and 4 cats with claws sounds like it might spell trouble! A bit of history It wasn’t until August [...]

I just got through pouring over the 50 blogs up for this year’s Best of Blogging awards. When you haven’t been keeping up with them regularly, it’s no quick task. I first setup everything in Google’s RSS Reader to make things easy to navigate. Then I got to reading. Among the things I considered were: [...]

Classes officially ended yesterday here at Wharton. My final week was mostly light in terms of lecture. In fact, I only had 3 of them. But I did have two exams. Tax was on Wednesday morning and Marketing Strategy wrapped up with a short case exam on Thursday. Interestingly enough, I’d solved a case on [...]

Now that my interviews for the season are over, I thought I’d post some tips on common areas. Overall, the interviews did not feel a lot different from round-to-round implying that a similar quality of applicants was invited over the course of the season. Anticipate (but don’t all out assault!) questions that are likely to [...]

At some point in the day, the final exam solution for my Problems in Financial Reporting (Accounting) class was posted. After getting in late tonight and seeing the notification in my email, I decided to have a peek. This exam was pretty tough for me and I fully expected the outcome to be scary. As [...]

Gosh this had been the longest semester ever. I guess I should have known it would be like this with 2 finance and 2 accounting courses. It was just a bit too much of a learning curve to be pleasant. While not over, at least Advanced Corporate Finance (commonly called ACF here at Wharton) and [...]
