transition. time.
2009-08-25 04:31:00 Aaaand the transition never ends. In addition to needing some key pieces of furniture, I also had to figure out the whole legality of my residency in a new state. I begrudgingly headed to hell on earth, aka the DMV, to attempt getting a new license, tags and title done in one fell swoop (it ... More About: Time , Transition
grownup. gal.
2009-08-03 03:16:00 Entering: The Next Episode. Once again, I’m heading into the workforce. Welcome, paychecks, benefits and the next career step. Goodbye, summer vacation, Thirsty Thursdays and accounting class. Going along with the grown up phase of my life is a new place to live. After tireless weeks/months spent researching and a whole lotta legwork (who knew realtors were so sketchy? I’m looking at you, RE/MAX), behold: My new place! Even my car has a place to live, something that I thought was such wishful thinking, that I didn’t even bother to look for it during my property search. So the entry way once you get inside the foyer has this little nook that is begging for something to be put there, like some fake flowers or an homage to yours truly (Kathleen’s idea — turns out, it looked more like a memorial). So I think I’ve found the solution: lighted slate wall fountain! John: “That may be even better than the marathon picture, very inviting and soothing...

2009-07-07 10:35:00 Egypt! The days have been packed with sand, pyramids, camels named Lufthansa, and some hard time at the pool. Oh, and there’s a NikeWomen store in the building next door. Who knew that Africa in July would be such a success? My only complaint: no bacon. Yeah yeah, Muslim country.. they don’t know what they’re missing. ... More About: Desert

2009-06-04 18:55:00 For all those doubters out there (ahem, Skybil), here is some photographic proof of my master-dom. Also, for my Dean’s award (see next post).. I hope this is like the Heisman, where people have to introduce me as ‘Dean Commended D ana P rey’ in all social situations. What’s next on the path to world domination? ... More About: Proof
master. me.
2009-05-22 05:21:00 That’s right! Please address me as ‘master’ from now on. The diploma is entirely in Latin, and my one year in 8th grade Latin class has proven not to be sufficient enough to translate the document. So really, it could just say ‘master of useless knowledge’ and nobody would know the difference. Also, I can’t believe ... More About: Master
all?s. well.
2009-05-10 01:15:00 My collegiate cycling career is officially over (well, I could pull a Favre and enroll in another grad program — although I just turned down UVA, so don’t hold your breath). This year went substantially better than last year, and I think it came down to a few new riding philosophies. And a little luck ...

Or, not. “it’s always better breaking at inappropriate times so that the rest of the field considers you slightly insane.” -A-dub This weekend was a double dose of everything — double the races (cycling and running), double the Prey’s (Dana and Jenny).

2009-03-09 21:04:00 New season, new bike, new karma. Or so I thought. Had a very near miss on the circuit race on Sunday at Rutgers — some MIT girl went down, taking a handful of people with her.
