acute. alteration.

So, my non-collegiate spandex/team kit is brought to you by the clothing company Giordana. I’ve always liked this because 1) Giordana makes good stuff 2) it’s Italian and 3) it has the word ‘dana’ in the name. What isn’t there to like?

Naturally, I have one improvement.

I’m sure the folks at IBC won’t mind the slight modification.

cyber. terror.

Recently yours truly has been dubbed a ‘Cyber Terrorist’ by roommate Kim, Skybil should be happy to know she’s not the only one who has to deal with my antics (re: Clippy). Kim is the victim in my latest stunt.

To give some background, Kim is the LAST PERSON ON EARTH to yet to join facebook. Concerned classmates rally together in a moment of solidarity and procrastination.

Rather than reading any cases prior to class, we started a grassroots/viral campaign.

As future managers and CEOs, the officer section of the group is critical (as you can tell).

We even have infiltration at Dartmouth and the city of Atlanta. You would think Skybil would be more appreciative that it wasn’t her as the target terror-ee:

tampa. turmoil.

boyfriends of the moment!

I heart Scottie Reynolds, Jay Wright.. and March Madness.

winter. wonderland.

See how productive my month off from school was:

New Years Roadtrip

b. school.

This is so frighteningly funny, and sadly, pretty damn accurate..

heisman. wrapup.

To sum up..

Who knew Tim Tebow was such a Bible thumper?

hall of fame. hotness.

Boyfriend of the moment alert!

Chris Long, the son of Hall of Famer (and Villanova alum), Howie Long, and DE for UVA. Now the bigger question is, do I love him more than Heath Miller or Wali Lundy?

.. I might.

fashionable. finals.

i might have failed that final, but i sure looked good doing it.

Maybe Skybil should be the one going into marketing:
Skybil: Dana: She makes failing look good!
Skybil: Dana: She’s making failing preppy
Skybil: Dana: Failure, just do it
Skybil: Dana: From accounting to no accountability
Skybil: Dana: Because winning looks exhausting!
DP: okay, i think you’re a little tooo good at this
Skybil: hee hee!
Skybil: This may be my true calling
Skybil: sadly
DP: hey, mine is failing fashionably
Skybil: Everyone has a destiny, mine is to be stupid

On higher education:
Skybil: College would be better without the classes

On moral guidance:
On faith: “After Jesus was born, the Old Testament basically became a way for Bible publishers to keep their word count up.” On gender: “The sooner we accept the basic differences between men and women, the sooner we can stop arguing about it and start having sex.” On race: “While skin and race are often synonymous, skin cleansing is good, race cleansing is bad.” On the elderly: “They look like lizards.”

On my management style:
Skybil: You could call your approach: Oh, just get out of the way Cybil and let me fix it.

On our contributions to society:
DP: i have no idea why nobody realizes our collective brilliance
Skybil: ME NEITHER
Skybil: We are just like Van Gogh
Skybil: with four ears

finals. week.

In the spirit of finals..

moving. up.

The Boston sports scene ain’t so bad these days.. the Pats are 6-0, the Red Sox are in the playoffs, KG is wearing Celtic green, and oh yeah, Boston College is 7-0 and #3 in the nation! Unfortunately for me, the only Boston sports team I care about is the one that receives my tuition money. But as a sports fan in general, I guess it’s pretty cool.

die, clausen, die.

You too, Charlie Weis!

PS I totally walked by Matty Ice the other day on campus. Swoon!

busy. bee.

Okay, who thought b-school was a good idea?

Random updates while I have a second to breathe:

CP has put me in her Fave 5. Somehow, she thinks I must be a drunk or something, I have no idea where she gets that impression: “Your icon for myfaves is a frothy mug of beer. hahahahaha!”

First Clambake ever. I’m soooo New England. Check out what I had for lunch:

Skybil’s advice: “WOW! Don’t suck the heads, you need to work up to that!”
Also, her opinion of the Boston Creme Pie we had for dessert: “Two words: Over rated!” (we thinks someone is jealous)

My second is up, back to work..

here goes nothing..

Back To School
Back To School
To Prove To Dad That I’m Not A Fool
I’ve Got My, Lunch Packed Up
My Boots Tied Tight
I Hope I Don’t Get In A Fight
Ohhhh
Back To School

j-versations

What better way to spend time at 230am than having ridiculous conversations with J?

On invention:
J: My little Dana is a star.
J: I feel like an East German sports coach.
J: I have made a creation.
J: And it is remarkable.

On leisure:
J: Worry about golf second year.

On academic standards:
SPOON10: OH, i get to drop econ!!
J: How did that happen?
J: What kind of pussy school did you go to?

On how not to get a job:
J: If you make me a brochure, I’m going to kill you.

On career services:
J: What are other possible careers?
J: Besides the future Mrs. [edit]?

On Skybil:
J:: And I don’t talk to Cybil anymore.
J: Tell her to fix that.

orient. me.

Survived Day One of Orientation. Not sure if I officially become a BC Eagle today or when I actually pay the tuition bill.

Day Two: Thompson Island for Outward Bound stuff. Here’s to hoping for no lame trust-falls and all those team building exercises.

Say hello to my new junker — bought a bike for commuting around the area.  Cause I obviously wouldn’t ride around the Butterstick and ask for it to be stolen.

neighbor. hoodlums.

Guess who is living 1.2 mi away from my digs in Boston? Dr. Vose indeed! This certainly sounds like trouble.

public service announcement

Take me back, Manav!

He’s a little upset about this whole thing. Unfortunately for him, I will continue to stalk him until August, begging for forgiveness. Being a whiny brat is one of my specialties.

the. decider.

I’ve finally made up my mind. And by ‘making up my mind’ I mean, sent a non-refundable deposit to business school of choice. Here goes nothing..

admissions. advice.

mr. A: where do you think you’re gonna go to grad school?
mr. A: i figure you have SOME idea since it’s tomorrow

Auto response from ohnocheese:
dear dana,
