My college roommate was a Finance major, and often times she would tell me about all the case studies she had to work on for class.

May 27, 2009

I’ve always been a big fan of The Deadliest Catch. This show has been mentioned about in numerous blogs, especially when it comes to the leadership of the captains. While those men are quite admirable, and I know what it is like to be the daughter of the Skipper, it was the end of the […]
