Retail Analysis: Gander Mountain
This is a writing assignment I turned in last semester for my Business 101 class. (I needed the credits, okay?!) We were supposed to go to a store and analyze the atmosphere created for customer shopping experience. I chose Gander Mountain, and got full credit of course.

Aquatic and Wetland Plants
This is a class I’m taking for my biology minor. Every week for lab we go on a field trip to various swamps, bogs, or ponds. Today we learned about 30 different species. My waders leaked.

Toxicodendron radicans) doesn’t have 3...

Hot Week, Busy Summer
I haven’t posted in over a month. Lame. This summer has been crazy busy, but crazy fun at the same time. It is flying by. My last semester at Grand Valley is really sneakin’ up on me. Gotta make it count!

I'm not a good Tumblr-er.
-There’s been too much rain lately. No fun to work in.
-I need to spend a week in the woods away from technology and work. I don’t know! No showers allowed. Sick. I have a new fishing reel that needs to be used.
-I’m going crazy. I just watched Apocalypse Now. “The horror…..the horror.”
-Crazy!
-Imma go for a bike ride now bye.
Man Hands
After a 61 hour work week at the Meadows, I have them. Blisters, cuts, scraped knuckles, irremovable dirt, and dryness that no lotion can fix. I need to go to bed.

I forgot I consolidated these things into one drawer when I moved downstairs about 6 years ago. All different things from...
