And Thats a Wrap….

As a customary thing I do,
after every significant period of my life ends
I end a blog and start a new.  The first rendition of this
blog was started back in high school on a myspace blog.
This is version 2 and was started 1,476 days ago on November
29, 2008.  I’ve always meant to use blogs and the blog format as
a way to track my growth as a person during the four years I was in
college and I feel the purpose is now done.  College was one the most
prolific experiences of my life and will never forget the people and the
memories I gained.  But as like I’m ending this blog that period is now over
and its time to pick up to move on.  Thank you to all who have ever read
hellanella. Hope I didn’t bore you too much

Slowly Cutting The Ties…

And making the tradition to post-college life.
I put in my two week notice for my volunteer position.
Checked my school records to see that nothing was left undone.
All there is left is to fill out my graduation form and
ride this quarter out.
This process feels very anti-climatic to me, but nonetheless,
feels more real.
A toast to forgettable memories with unforgettable people

So I Rode

My bike today,
First time in a bit, nothing to far just the regular commute.
Went down hopkins hill after my workout
and for a brief moment I felt like my first year when I
bombed that hill for the first time.

Motivation and Success Envy

Finding motivation towards your dreams
can be a disheartening road.
Look at others success not as a deterrent
of your abilities to move forward, but as
the possibility that there is a chance to go
forward.

Project Denim Pair 2: Levis 501

My flatheads have now been officially retired,
so its back to square one once again.
Decided to do a budget project pair and what better
way than with levis 501 stf.  I got the non-selvedge variety
because I was not really familiar with the 501 stf fit being a straight
leg anti-fit (I’m more used to pairs that are more slim and taper down)
501 stf are known to shrink considerably both in the leg and waist
so I advise you to do your research to get the fit you want.

First initial soak, I did a combination of being in the pair so that the waist
doesnt shrink to considerably, and letting them soak on their own so I can
shrink the leg.

First impressions are that these pairs dont have as much weight as that of a
flathead and they also feel a little thinner.  The leg did shrink a good amount both
in length and circumfrence so the fit to me post soak feels more slim straight with out a taper.

I’ll post progression as time goes by
