Over the summer I got a call from a Drexel student that was taking a course
on Oracle's PL/SQL. They wanted tutoring, and they wanted it immediatly.
I got the call on a Friday night and they just about demanded that I go
and tutor them personaly for a test they had the following Monday...
They said they found me by searching for Philadelphia and PL/SQL...
